who makes them?

there is a place here in Lakewood called Team C Performance they might have what you are looking for. 562-866-3887.

 

[96darkhorse]

nope...i tried calling team c...they only have the stock lenght studs...does anybody know if i can get them at a dealer?

 

[mootang]

well if you can't find them you can put the intake on with out the spacer until you do find them.

 

[96darkhorse]

true, but i really wanna find them so i can put on my tall vc's

 

[mootang]

I got my tall valve covers on with my stock intake. I just had to grind the bottom of the egr down about a quarter inch.

I'm a little confused about what your asking but i'll try to help you out the best i can

these are the ones i got on my car. they were less than $30 shipped.
you just cant use the factory gaskets with them. I used the fel pro cork ones and they work great.

there shouldn't be a clearance issue on the drivers side. but on the passenger side you probably will have to grind the egr down. that is the only thing i had to do to get the valvecovers shown above to fit under my stock intake.

good luck

and let me know if you have any more questions

 

[urban96]

have you tried home depot or any other local hardware stores?

 

[96darkhorse]

hey mootang, i have the ford racing ones that are i think they same height as yours....i just basically needed longer bolts or studs so i can clear the spacer that im putting....i found them at a local fastenal store...thanks for all your help guys.............now for the fun question, how big of a difference will i notice with the edel intake and gears together

 

[Gallop88]

Lol^

 

[mootang]

what gears? 3.73's?

 

[mootang]

by the way, You should go to fontana tomarrow. I'll be there. you got to get there early though. because they only let 400 cars in the gates.

 

[96darkhorse]

yeah 373's....i got nothing to do tommorow so i might drop by at fontana tommorow

 

[mootang]

you will notice the difference for sure. if you decide to go just make sure you get there at noon. i defenatly wouldn't get there anytime past 2 because it will already be full and you will have just wasted your gas.

[mootang]

if you do go just look for this car.

Lowes or Home Depot carry a large selection of bolts. Lowes was the only place (to include a lot of performance shops) that carried bolts long enough for my '93 cobra intake (5\16-18 x 6.85") when i was missing the two tallest ones.
