Are you running power brakes? I had the same problem with the 427 in my 1967 Mustang. I slipped a washer between the inboard power booster studs and the firewall. The 1/16" "shims" shifted the master cylinder at least 1/2" away from the valve covers.

There is a guy on ebay selling FE valve covers, modified for a master. I THINK it might even be DSC. Do a seach under 427 Cobra, that's where I noticed them.

I did an EBAY search but I did not see one that claim to be modified for a master cylinder. I saw the Blue Thunder and Cobra 427 covers sold by DSC motorsports.

Do you happen toknow which ones you saw ?

Thanks.

Thanks. I have emailed DSC Motorsports to try to get some dimensions. They look so close to what I have that it is hard to imagine that they get me the extra 1/2" to 3/4" that I need.
