Valve Cover Clearance

[1Slow5oh]

I have aluminum FR valve covers and used to have them on a carbed car. No clearance problems.(sold) Now that im putting them on my 90 There is a huge problem throttle body hits hardcore. Ive placed (temporary) spacer between the intakes to see how much of a spacer I will need and I need more than an inch. I have not seen a 1inch or larger spacer for upper intake nor do I want to add that much of a spacer. Is there anyting I can do to move the kickdown assembly or any other solution you can think of?
Besides buying a high rise intake.(Money is a big concern)

Anybody seen a large upper intake spacer?


Im really wanting to drive my car.... Sniffle sniffle

i havent................im sure there has got to be something out there that will work with a spacer and clear.

Are you running just the stock intake? If worst comes to worst I guess you could silicone two spacers together.

i drilled new hiles into the throttle cable bracket. So it mounts higher. But it still pretty much rests on the valve cover.

Yes I still have stock upper/lower.

Im thinking you mean where it bolts to the upper? I see you have TF intake are those the same as stock height?

BTW.... Nice quad. I got a fo-fiddy. Where you ride?

Canton makes valve covers that are 1/4 inch taller and clear my comp rollers (cutting out baffle) and fit under stock intake and TB. i would check them out they look great!

yeah your gonna have to make something the EFI and Carb style valve covers are way different in height. Jegs sells them in 1/2 and 3/8 for stock intake patterns looks like your stack'n

It sounds like your going to need to go with a stock height valve cover. If rocker clearance is a concern, I know my trick flows clear my 1.7 stud mount setup.
