I like the trickflow valve covers but the only issue is you have to drill the oil filler neck to install it. It isn't hard but many people don't want the extra step. Plus you need a 1" or 1-1/4" drill.

hhmm interesting... so have people successfully installed the Trickflow VC's without needing a spacer or anything and still have the filler neck in the stock location? I have access to many drill presses at work so that wouldn't be an issue.

I'm running the TFS valvecovers. I had to pick up a holesaw to drill out for the filler, but that was simple and took maybe 10 seconds to drill.

I had the AFM valve covers but they wouldnt seal for ****. I tried all the different types of gaskets and always had leaks. Maybe they just didnt work well with the Edel Heads. I now have The Trick Flow Valve covers and they rock!

Edit: oh and with aluminum heads i would reccomend getting the trick flow VC studs because then you dont have to keep bolting and un bolting the VCs into soft aluminum threads. I hve them and love them.

I run Fox vc's with no spacer

I did have to modify them just a bit. I've posted the details before
but I did see you don't wanna have to go through any of that.

I posted mainly because I see you run a Cobra intake .

They sit just a tiny bit lower than the Edelbrock.
soooooo
Most peeps I see who run them use spacers.

Those are what i just put on my new set up. They are sweet but require some modification. What that might be, That is one of the small bugs im working on to finish my project.

Here is a pic of the dilema, the filler neck is to close to the IAC so the nipple that sticks out from the filler tube is a no go. Just trying to figure out a clean, neat way to go about making it work.

thanks any detailed pics or details in general would really help me decide. let me know what you do to make it work. do they clear the roller rockers pretty well? also with out the spacer does the sensor hit the valve cover?

Im not sure if those AFM ones are the ones that Joe and Roger are running, but I thought his were less $$, and they said that there were no mods needed to make it fit.
