Haha, I'm jealous man. MustangsUnlimited is about 45 minutes from me, but I've yet to make a trip. I probably would have saved a fortune on the parts I got for my '66 if I just generated a list and got them all at once instead of spending a ****load of money on shipping.

im not positive, but i think the valve covers on the sn95 is just a tad shorter than the foxes. if u get a used pair of valve covers from a fox they should work. they're pretty cheap too

If you want to use your stock valve covers to clear the 1.7 rockers what i think you should try is taking out the baffles or installing double size valve cover gaskets or if you go with the stock trick flow cover regular size it should clear and go with a 1 inch spacer on manifold..Good luck

from what i've been thought.. 1.6 are safier due to postioning on valve stem head...
