Progress report,,w/PICS!!!

You can use a solid bottom grommet to plug the hole on the passenger cover, it works just fine and Mr.Gasket sells them. I havee actually started milling the Holley intake a little on the underside to gain clearance if needed.

I just put a set of the Ford Racing chrome valve covers over a 1.7 Scorpion rocker on a AFR185 and fit a Holley without any clearance issues. :nice:
 
I'm kind of nervous now, i have the same in-take and i wanted those same v/cs.. my intake is not black, but instead of chroming everything out.. i was going to blacken everything i could. do they make a smaller V/C that color?
 
where did you get that spacer from? i have a set of those same valve covers but in chrome and black. i would love to put them on my car lol. the project looks great man keep it up!
 
I practically stole the kit from some guy in OH! Haaaaaaaaa.

The passenger side valve cover is wide open for filling oil, no worries there. Im just bummed that I couldn't get away with just the one inch spacer. Just hope she runs good.
