If your still fuel injected that's a definate no. The intake and throttle body will contact.

Maybe.

Carbed covers don't really work with EFI. They introduce a vac leak through the breathers. EFI is more sensitive to that sort of thing.

Ordered stamped steel 86-95 covers with gromett kit. Sent back ones for 62-79 302
suckers were way too tall. These 86-95 Are 3.5 inches tall. Tried fox body aluminum ones but the gussets inside rubbed against valve springs.

It appears the springs on my aluminum heads sit closer to the edges than stock heads.
