Can a pair of Ford Racing aluminum valve covers (for EFI) fit under a 93 (fox style) Cobra intake with no thermo spacer and an angle adapter to fit the throttle body in stock position?
i had exchanged PM's with Andy and the Valve covers that he has will not fit with the sn-95 elbow. he say the valve covers he has are 2 inches taller than stock. and on top of him changing over to the fox body TB, he also has an intake spacer. i don't know about all the ford racing VC, but thats in regards to the ones Andy has
I have the elbow on my 93 cobra swap. I just recently put on a set of fox body valve covers and I had to cut the oil fill neck off cause the TB would not clear. I still have some room for a little bit taller valve cover but the foxes work just fine without the neck and clear roller rockers.
urban96:the cables reach just fine when you pull out some of the slack.

Most of the issues I had were in the throttle linkage hitting...hence needing a spacer....much over 3 1/2" tall and you may have problems....
I never ran an elbow with the 93 Cobra myself...one thing that MIGHT show would be the IAC hitting the VC as it sweeps downward if to tall...
I would say something more "rounded" versus "flat" would work....Alot of the EFI covers are rounded to me... most I had are more flat across the top...like these Summit chromes..3.5" tall...
This is where I had problems...see how the linkage is hitting the VC....spacer time here...taller the VC, bigger the problems...The stock Fox ones are rounded to me..
