Not trying to incite a riot here, but for the guys looking to make their small blocks look like FE's, why don't you switch to an FE? Raceral, didn't you build an FE for your car?

I think the answer would be obvious ...
What we have is a replica body on a replica frame with a BB or SB crate motor not built in the 60's, the whole damn thing is a fake. Why settle for the headache of an expensive heavy leaky FE when you can do better with a well built stroked Windsor ... enough said.

Hmm.
Maybe I'll come up with a kit to put sbf heads on a sbc so they can run the FE valve cover adapters too.

They're all friggin replicas!!!
 What a bunch of ill-conceived, judgmental nit-pickery! By that line of (un)reasoning, you could say to just about every one of the thousands of replica owners on this site "Instead of trying to make your replicas look like real Cobras, why don't you switch to a genuine original?"
Ridiculous. How about the heathens who put Goodyear billboard lettering on their Avons or other tires? I suppose that offends the inquisitors and fashion police as well?

No thanks - I'll keep my Chevy heads, but get busy making some adapters so I can put the nice finned Cobra lettered valve covers on - I just might be your first customer.

Ever seen someone roll up in a 68 vette with a small block, but it had BBC valve cover adapters?

No - because its a real '68 Vette and not a replica kit. I don't think you're likely to see many original 289 Cobras sporting 427 badges and FE valve covers either.
