If I order a set of valve covers that are to fit a 93, will they fit my 94 Cobra?

Yes & NO!

The oil fill tube sits farther back from the front end of the vc. This will put the hose nipple about 1/16 of an inch from your iac so you won't be able to get a hose on it.

I use em on my car and so do countless others.
You do need to mod them a bit however.

Many threads have been done on this topic and some of them have pics as well as all the mod details.

Most peeps use them for a bit more room that is needed with stud rr's.

I called Jeg's. They have 94-95 specific Moroso's. WHOLLY SHEET they are proud of these....proud enough to charge $385! I think I'll either polish my stock ones., or send them out to get them chromed.

No thank you. My Cobra is white with Blue Racing stripes. What valve covers do you currently have on your car?

I use fox body valve covers on mine, had to grind down the baffle a little, my rockers were touching it. Other than that, no problems.

95Cobra, do you have a link as to where you bought them? Will they fit with the original intake?

i got those valve covers from summit racing, they dont come with an oil fill tube so u need to drill a big hole and use the trick flow oil fill kit they sell for those covers. i dont think the intake will clear unless u use a 3/8 intake spacer.

It is good that you talked about the spacer.

Over the years of looking at all these vc threads I have noticed the Cobra peeps use spacers a lot of the time.

I got several friends who run the Edelbrock and Fox vc's. Like me, they needed no spacer.

Seen this so many times I have come to believe the Cobra plenum sits lower than the Edel does.

I had a Cobra Intake on mine prior to the Edelbrock with the Fox Valve covers. The intake itself cleared without any issues other than the PCV outlet fitting on the passanger side rear corner of the intake. Instead of using a spacer, I just did a little grinding on this fitting and it worked fine.

I run a cobra intake and have ran Trick Flow, Stock '93, and Comp Cams Polymer valve covers and here's the only 2 simple things I had to do....

1. Go to AutoZone and buy a chromed 3/8" fuel line 90* fitting (it's in the chrome/hotrod performance section) for about $5 and use that for the PCV line fitting that hangs down over the drivers side cover towards the rear.

2. Grind down the bottom of the EGR mounting flange a bit. It's extra material that hangs down and hits the passenger side cover. I ground mine down about 1/8" on the very bottom/tip and it clears all the above valve covers.

Hey inmyprime, I have a white cobra too. I just painted my valve covers blue with the duplicolor metalcast. It looks good with my blue ford racing wires and blue mac cold air boots.

That's not a bad idea 95Cobra. I think I'm going to polish them out myself when I pull the upper and lower intake off next weekend (I'm sending my lower to TMoss for porting). If my polish job turns out like crap, I'll just send it to Jet-Hot to get coated. That way I dont have to buy new covers, and I dont have to mod them....at least, that's my current plan.

I'd really like to see a good pic of yours tho...maybe I'll change my mind since I have FMS wires as well, and some blue stuff in my engine.
