Those look nice for stock vc, Anyone run the comp cams polymer valve covers? can't find many pictures of them installed.

I personally like the black satin covers Ford offers. Eventually I'd like to put the "Cobra" ones on mine.

Keep em' comin

Nice. I've been considering new valve covers but I can't find any I like enough to buy. This is the answer.

Thanks :SNSign:

A friend of mine took those stock ones and had them powdercoated silver. They look badass and also look like they are going to hold up real well.

I have the chrome ford racing ones that are posted above. I like them a lot and with some neverdull they shine real nice!!

i went for the matching / clean look. best of all, i have the 1 inch spacer between my upper & lower intake, and i can remove my valve covers without having to remove the upper intake. the last allen screw on the top right of the driver's side valve cover is a pain, but it's much less of a pain than removing the upper intake. plus they're easy to clean.

Heres one more picture I have, in a different angle.

btw, I like those trick flow black covers

 

[mattmcdan]

Keep em comin fellas, I wanna see your covers, post lots of pics.

 

[mattmcdan]

Anybody have these installed?
I also still want to see more pics of everyone's valve covers if you wanna show em.

Check out the 65-345 from Canton. They are supposed to be direct fit for EFI. You won't have to mess with your pcv system or run breathers, they're polished, and you won't need a 1" spacer to clear the upper intake

 

[mattmcdan]

nice covers but I won't need a spacer with that comp polymers intake.

black trickflows

Black Trickflows or polished factory covers (if you have time and don't want to dish the $$). If using factory covers, I think you'll need thicker gaskets, or double gaskets if you're running roller rockers.
