View Full Version : What valve covers fit and clear intake?
Looking for some info on what valve covers will fit 5.0l RPM heads with roller rockers (stud mount) and clear Typhoon intake? Want to run stock hood.
Anyone know?
Thanks

Sounds fairly standard to me, have you tried the stockers?

I run this on the coupe.RPM heads,Typhoon intake.
I run the stock Valve covers that have been Powder Coated by Mustangboy.I had to grind the internal baffle off of the stockers and I also run some kinda thick gaskets I got from Cincy Speed.They are on the shelf down there and are the rubber metal re-usable type.I dont have a stock hood though,but im pretty sure it would fit under a stock hood.
The stock ones wont clear the poly locks for the roller rockers, the heads have 3/8 screw in studs. Just was wondering before I go and spend money on valve covers that wont fit with out running a intake spacer. The stock ones are a 1/2" away from touching the heads.

I run some pretty big Scorpian Roller rockers with poly locks.I had to grind the oil baffle completely off before they fit.
