Ok, motor and tranny are in the car. Had to buy another 3/8" spacer and then cut it down to a 1/4" (double stack. put it above my one inch spacer) so that the upper intake could be put on and clear the valve covers. Upper is on just for mock-up at this point. Won't be long now guys.

Wow, that looks super clean. Why mount the MSD box in the engine bay? It's much "safer" under the passenger seat.

You're part of the Stang Gang? I saw a bunch of you buddies at Silver Springs. I'm not too far from you...Tarpon Springs is a nice area. I used to live in Palm Harbor.

91ghp: What's up bro. Wish I could've made the Silver Springs show,,the "Gang" convoy'd up there from here. As for the MSD box, it was mounted there when I bought the car, so that's where it stays. We still do the Wendy's cruise in every Friday (US19 and Nebraska)

I know it's a ****** to hear, but I would think about going with a different set of VC...running two spacers is asking for vac problems and pulling the intake to add oil...well you can just imagine. I KNOW they look good but it could be so much easier. Don't forget you need the vent from the drivers VC to the TB as well.

Ozz · Jan 23, 2007

I think trick Flow makes a kit that allows you to add the filler tube to their valve covers. Should work with other VC's as well. But like Dman said, unless you're running a blower you're gonna need it.

i wonder if i'd have clearance issues come time to put my ssi on

That is the truth, just get some nice sheet metal ones powder coat them black, and call it a day.

I would RTV those two spacers together. Setup looks good btw.

Say if you decide to get new ones I was going to order these same valve covers this week so if you need to get rid of them pm me for details

Fill hole will be located under the TB when she's all buttoned up. They are not the traditional covers you see on EFI mustangs....but they do look gooooood.
