Looking for Valve Covers
Have a 2010 Roush 427 SR. Would like to replace the Roush valve covers with something that mimics those of the original FE. Looking for finned aluminum covers that display 'Cobra' followed below that with 'Powered by Ford'. I've looked and have yet to find anything and would certainly appreciate any of the forum's knowledge on the subject. Thanks.
I failed to mention that these will need to be extra tall covers. Branda has just the set that I'm looking for - their VC24 - but they acknowledge that these won't clear Roush's rollers.

I purchased the Cobra Lemans covers from Tony Branda and they are for big blocks , there on a 347 ,and they look serious in the engine , they are high price but it only cost 80 percent more to go first class .

Those Lemans valve covers T. Branda number VC 11 works perfect with cork gaskets from Blue thunder or make sure to order special High Performance gaskets for the 427 engine or might get a set of Rinky Dink Ink set and could get leaks , red silicone the gasket to the aluminum cover over night HTh .

min 385's photo of the Roush is identical to mine both with the air cleaner and the valve covers. Frank Messina's recommendation for the adapters opened an avenue for me (sadly, an expensive avenue). I'm going to go ahead and order the Branda VC24 valve covers. They're purported tall enough to clear my rocker gear and if they don't, I can fall back to the adapters. I like the VC24's as they appeal to me and they are nearly identical to the original Cobra FE covers. The project following that will be replacing the Roush air cleaner for a turkey roasting pan and a Helling-type cleaner. Much thanks to all for the well thought out advice!

Try these guys. All they do is valve covers for the past 40 years. A big selection in their catalog. They make vc's for alot of OEM and aftermarket. Not sure if they will sell retail (they do at car shows and trade shows), but they should be able to point you the right direction.;)
