cobra valve covers on a gt???

 

[_MATiC]

yeah. i'm converting my gt to a cobra (or as close to one as i can).

No not with the stock intake if you are converting to a cobra intake then pick up the one inch phenolic spacer and you should be good

Those aren't stock 94/95 Cobra valve covers just to let you know. If you really want to convert your car to a 94/95 Cobra check the classifieds on the corral and you can usually find a set there.

Good luck

well, I was thinking of doing that too, same covers... they will NOT fit on a stock GT 5.0L engine? the 302, for anyone who really didn't know

i should have been clear as to why they dont fit. its not the bolt pattern its the space under the intake if u get a spacer for the intake to raise it about an 3/4 to an inch i do believe they will work i only know of the 1 inch phenolic spacer for the GT40 and cobra style intakes. also note hood clearance will become an issue.

im also guessing that you have a 94-95 as well

yes, I have a 1995 GT (in my sig ) darn... had an offer for both sides for $20... guy didn't know what he had... will running w/ a spacer help/hinder my performance at all? never read anything about it on an intake, just TB...

im no guru on the spacers actual performance gains or losses but everything i read and understood is that u gain lowend and lose some topend ( torque, not sure on HP ) with the spacer but as i mentioned earlier the biggest problem will be hood clearance. also the TB will be raised with the intake. oh and if u have the stock tower brace i do believe this will have clearance issues as well.( but it has issues with the cobra intake as well ) there is more issues than people like to deal with just for chrome covers. every now and again you may catch someone who just gets their stock covers chromed.

well, I just like the look of the black w/ the shiny top bars... it's more for my appriciation than anything else really... I guess I will pass on them though, I like my strut tower brace where it is... very few 95's have them... very few have my combo of stuff too

If you end up buying them and running a 1 inch spacer you will most likely run into some hood clearance problems, just something to consider. BTW- A spacer moves the powerband down, so your powernabd would shift down a little with the 1 incher on there.
