Default 93 VS 94-95 Cobra Valve covers?

Is there a difference in the 93 and the 94-95 Cobra valve covers? I know the lopo and HO valve covers are different, and I know that the 94-95 Cobra intake is the same dimensionaly as the 94-95 HO, so it would lead me to believ that they are also different, however. The 94-95 HO intake design had been around since 92. so they may have went ahead and used the new short cover desing for the 93. I know they are different part numbers, but I also know that the 93 had a sticker on them and the 94-95 does not. I really need to know for sure about this, and pretty fast!

Thanks in advance!

Or if anyone can get me some really good pics of their stock 93 Cobra VCs that would work for me!

Thanks again!

It's not the same engine. The 93 HO valve covers do not work on a 94-95 HO. It's not a matter of bolt patter, but of clearance. On the 94-95 the intake design is different, and much closer to the heads. So they made shorter valve covers to work with this. But since 93 was the first year of the Cobra, it's a possibility that they went ahead and moddified the new HO valve covers in preperation for the new cobra intake design.

I don't see how you can call them ugly....plain yeah, but how can they be ugly? I always hated the steps on the 86-93 5.0L HO VCs... Besides I have no choice at the moment anyways. I have a 95HO and the intake is about 1/4" away from interfearing with my windshield wiper motor, so I can't use a spacer.
