correct valve covers for 66gt??

[sunburst gold]

I'm looking at a 66 gt which supposedly has the A code engine. The VIN is A as it should be.

But here's what's wierd. The engine looks redone, but it's got valve covers with the script lettering that says "powered by ford" and the air cleaner looks somehow bigger than it should be--taller and with a tube or something coming down from the snorkel.

The first thing I thought of is that it's a truck engine or something. Anyway, it doesn't look right.

Does anyone know what these valve covers should be on?

Then I gotta figure out if it's the wrong engine, or just goofy VC's.

Only way your going to know is to look at the date codeing on the engine block. there are alot of Dress up kits out there that have diffrent valve covers. Another reason may be that these are not original heads and some one has roller arms on it that needs the taller valve covers.

Look for the engine casting number, located on the block, just above the starter. Don't get too wrapped up about valve covers, people dress their engines differently to personalize their cars...
