Title says it all - are the 94/5 valve covers the same as the cast aluminum units on the Fox bodies? If not, are they similar to the stamped steel covers on the Cobras of that era?
Michael Yount said:We're just trying to determine if the covers he has on the car (stamped steel - from a 94/5 Stang) will clear 1.7's. They sound just like the stock Cobra stamped steel units as SaltWaterFish says (Cuda fan?).
1)If the 93 Cobra covers are black, more shallow than a Fox cover, and have the "lips" of the covers rolled slightly, then yes, they are the same. I have never seen a 93 cover, so I'm not certain. 2) I have never found a 1.7 pedestal mount rocker that fits without having to "clearance" the cover. I am not a fan of this as it can knock the bolt holes slightly out of proper location if the sides need to be beat out. Just as a reference, I put 1.7 Crane rockers on a friends 94GT with stock heads and the stock valve covers did not fit.Michael Yount said:Let me clarify guys - first thanks for all the help. Second - I'm not trying to put fox covers on a 94/5 -- I'm trying to ascertain if the stock 94/5 covers are 1) the same as the 93 Cobra stamped steel covers (in the pics I've seen look the same, they appear to be just like my 93 Cobra covers), and 2) if they'll fit over 1.7 Cobra-style pedestal roller rockers with no interference. Is there any difference in the location or height of the oil filler neck due to the 45 degree angle on the throttle body?
Michael Yount said:OK guys - what valve covers will clear the rollers, and fit under intakes without spacers? Or are we gonna get an answer we don't like?
