5.0 Valve Cover Clearance

[KaLiKo Street]

The right side valve cover on my 5.0 was busted by the brake booster being slammed into it. I went to lkq and got a new valve cover off of a v8 thunderbird but its totally different then whats on my 302. Im worried the rocker arms are gonna hit the top of it. Anyone know if this valve cover will work right?

Its fits with no problem but i still wanted to ask...

Yeah, it'll work-the SN95s and the 96-01 exploders used them too, so no worries...

I don't get it. How did the valve cover get slammed into the brake booster, especially that hard?

Girl hit a tree and totaled the mark 7 this 5.0 came out of. Smashed the fender in knocking the strut tower into the brake booster hitting the valve cover busting it

Was alot worse...got my truck and a chain and jerked the strut tower back out some. I couldnt even remove the brake booster or even see the motor mount till i did this

That is the same style cover that is on a 93 Cobra, should work just fine...

DAMN that car got hit hard!
