302 Valve Cover Questions?????

[roadrunner19va]

I have a 1993 Mustang 5.0 lx. Will the tall ford racing valve covers fit on a EFI. I have heard they won't. Let me know. Thanks Travis

If you're worried about clearances with RR's, you can probly get away with reusing the stockers... I did on my setup w/Comp P.M. RR's and TW heads, just gotta take out the oil fill baffle on the passenger side cover

I think he means, will if fit under the intake manifold. I have seen tall valve covers not fit under a trickflow intake, and the owner had to use a phenolic spacer to move the upper up away from the valve covers.

I had a little bit of a clearance problem with throttle linkage when I put Ford motorsport valve covers on. I added a 3/8" phenolic spacer to gain enough space.

I had to use a 1" spacer for them to fit under my GT-40 intake.. I had the 3/8 spacer and no way it would clear.

The valve cover surface of the TW heads is taller actually raised to help with RR clearance (.300" if I remember).

Since there are a ton of possible combinations that you could use it may be a good idea to measure things out before you buy something. Or just buy it and see if it fits.
