As Borat would say, "very nice! Hello Mr.s Edsel, Hello President Jeremy Ford" [sm=hiya.gif]

If you are looking for a bit of old school, Cobranda sells a set of tall "Cobra Powered by Ford" style valve covers made... taller for roller rockers on 5.0 engines. Or Delta Mustangs has spacers for stock covers.

Keep up the great work.

the intake will be upgraded once the car is running. i'm going to set it up like this initially, since it was only $35.
