Stock V/C's with 1.7 RR's

i have these (part #HLY-241-81), and they seem to have more room in the corners, but they are stock height, according to the summit info page. might be worth checking out ...

always remember fox valve covers work well with rr's and are very cheap on ebay

Notice Andrew's Q was about ... Studs not Peds
Studs usually are larger

Notice different heads have been talked about here
and
There can be differences between them

You also have differences between the different lines of intakes. It
has been my observation the Edelbrock's offer more room than the
OEM Cobra/TFS line of intakes.

You also have different issues between OEM SN tb mount
and
Fox tb conversion mount

The Q was asked about why so many use Fox VC's
Simply Put ... They work

Think about ...........
For years before our cars came along ..........
After Market folk made their parts for Stangs with Fox VC's

I run stud mount Scorpions which are larger than most other RR's.
I run Fox VC's with just a small mount of modification needed.
I run no spacer with the elbow tb mount

If you want ALL the VC install details ... I've posted it several times
here and over at the Corral.

Now ... all my info does not pertain to KB use.

Andrew ... Use Don 95Vert in a search on the Corral. He has posted
tons of reliable info on KB's with a 94-95 application.

I know we got several 94-95 KB users here as well

You will just have to search out the answer. You are gonna find
most the info will be about peds however.

Is the clearance issue with the height of the studs or the
rocker ends

how the hell did you get stud anything to fit under stock vc's?

I have 1.7's under stock covers..

no idea what brand though. They were on when i got the car. Im guessing they are from an old motor my buddy had in his shop.

You two guys are talking about S T U D mount RR's ... Right

I would have never thought any stud RR's would
fit under the tiny OEM VC's

my stud mount 1.6 pro magnums fit under my stock valve covers. maybe the afr valve cover ridges are higher than others ... ?

Well for example on my case stock valve covers didnt fit with the stud 1.6 rr on the 165´s what it did to solve it as a quick solution, was to buy 2 sets of cork "shame" gaskets and glue them together with high temp silicon and worked so well that i am still impressed they have hold together for a long time wihout any kind of leak.
just my .02 c.

Ohh and BTW they dont even look bad, if looks are a concern to you

which rockers are they and where were they hitting?

Sorry if the question was not for me , but the rockers are comp. and the rockers themself where not hiting it was clearance with the stud nut.

the clearance problems i have noticed have not been the rocker. the stud has been the problem for me, but thats with the fox body vc's. with that said, it HAS to be in the head design because on my tw's there is no way a stock vc would ever work with stud rr's.
