I think I screwed up

[fi347GT]

First of all I have a 94 GT and need some taller valve covers to clear my rockers and studs. The Fox valve covers are supposed to be taller than mine and I found these valve covers on E-bay. I thought these would be taller, bid on them, but now I'm not sure. They look the same as mine except gray. I also heard that all Fox covers are aluminum, is this true? I think I screwed myself by bidding, I just assumed the seller was correct. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

not sure if the fox covers are taller or not but you can take the baffle out and mill the inside and they should clear the roller rockers.... Those pictures dont look like stock fox body valve covers though?

They may have come off a '90 GT like the seller says, but they didn't come on a '90 GT.

Those ones look just like the '94 style for me, I don't think they will give you the extra clearance you are looking for.

All the 87-93 Fox valve covers I have seen are aluminum.

Those don't look like the stock 94-95 covers either. The oil fill cap is screwed directly to the valvecover on those. On our stock 94-95 covers, the passenger side has a tube that the cap screws into.

Nevermind, I just looked at the link again, and I discovered that I didn't look at the other pic in the auction. Those definitely look like 94-95 covers after all.

you can always retract your bid on ebay so dont worry too much

Yup those are definately stamped steel valve covers...they are not the aluminum ones from an original foxbody. Retract your bid and cut the baffle out of your stock valve covers to clear the RR's.

Cutting the baffle out of a stock 94-95 VC usually isn't enough. I ended up with the TFS covers because the stockers wouldn't cut it.
