1.7's and valve covers, HELP!
 

i have a set of 1.7's and i am using the stock intake. what valve covers with clear for the rockers and the stock intake? i also have a 3/8" phenolic spacer. i called Summit and they had nothing that would fit for the stock intake. any suggestions? i am in a bind!:confused:

Sounds like you are in a bind.lol Hmm, summit don't know their head from their ***** anyway. If it wasn't for the computer in front of them they'd be lost. Why not use the stock valve covers..won't they fit?

I ran stock '93 valve covers with Cobra 1.7's... but I had to remove the baffle and grind the cast-in mounting bosses. It was a couple years ago, so no picks... sorry. But the stockers will fit. :)

Oh, I went a bought one of those nifty screw in K&N air filters to replace the factory oil cap and plugged the holes where the rubber hose connected to the T/B.

Hope this works for ya. :) Otherwise the fancy cast alum. finned FRPP valve covers are a tad taller than the stockers I believe, and I think would work with your spacer... which fit under your stock hood nicely (maybe take the liner out if it rubs too bad):)

All I did with mine was remove the baffle, I didnt grind a thing.

They dont rub at all, even with that monster of a B-cam in there:D

Yeah mine clear just fine. I removed the baffle, and did a little grinding just to be safe.;)

what kind of 1.7's do you guys have? i bought the Summit brand 1.7 adjustables. these seem to be to wide. it hits the side of the valve cover and the top side. i will get pics of the roller rockers. i want adjustable cause i just shaved my head. huh..:confused:

I ran Comp Cams adj. 1.7 rockers for awhile... also with the stock valve covers... again, I had to do some grinding. :)

They sell double thick steel reinforced valve cover gaskets,get a set of those and remove the baffle,they will clear....

I dont know a whole lot about the Fox bodied valve covers and such but from what I do know, in '94-'95 Cobras Ford used 1.7 for the rocker. I do not know what cam they used. Probably a standard GT cam considering that it had around 235 hp. I have a '94 and am in search of a set of 1.7's for my GT-40 P heads with E-303 cam.

Dam dude
