I would like to put a set of chrome valve covers on my 95 gt efi motor. Every set I find says that they will only fit up to 1993. Can anyone tell me why they will not fit or what I can do to make them fit.
Thanks
John

im really not sure about this, but i think that the pre 93 valve covers are taller than ours....

as far as fitment, i dont see why they wouldnt fit unless they were too tall and wont fit under the intake?

but i dont even know if that is what the diffrence is, its just a guess

I am in the same predicament and have been searching the forums for help. I have seen a few people use the chrome ones from Anderson Ford Motorsports. From what I have read there are no fitment issues and are around $80 shipped. If you end up going with these post results.

It's the oil filler neck. The neck of the 94-95 upper intake interferes with the filler neck of the 93 and earlier valve covers. Notice the location of the filler neck on these valve covers. First, the 93 and earlier:


Next, the 94-95:

Notice the filler neck is all the way in the corner of the 94-95 covers. Now, if you want to get blank covers with no filler neck and put the neck in yourself, you can use any cover. Can't help you with that, tho.

Another solution is to convert to the pre-94 upper intake manifold. That'll involve more parts such as a throttle cable, brackets and I believe a new EGR valve.

the main problem is not the filler neck because many 94-95 guys, myself included, have used the stock fox valve covers with no problem. your main concern is the clearance with the alternator and the EGR mount on the intake. an intake spacer SHOULD give plenty of clearance there and the alternator can be loosened and slid forward to get the valve cover on, and with stock fox valve covers the filler neck can just be bent slightly to clear

The AFM's clear every rocker and intake. I was told I would need a spacer to clear the valve covers with my Holley intake. With the AFM's it was not needed. Just for this alone they a worth it. At $76 shipped though they are a steal. I'm guessing from all the play they've been getting on the boards they may be on back order.
