Not without an intake spacer to lift the upper manifold a little.

Havnt you read about how roller rockers make you buy a cowl hood?

Roller rockers = valve covers = intake spacer = cowl hood

+1.... The 94-95 are worse than foxes cuz of the elbow you have to use that hits tall valve covers... I used a 1" spacer and still had to cut the ear off of the elbow for the egr to make it fit... And it STILL fits snug... Good luck..

I thought the cobras had different rocker arms cuz they came out with 1.7's, so they have more clearance...
