RE: Which Valve Cover Looks Better
What do you guys like or dislike about them? Here's my thoughts:
1. Color Emblem- this is more unique. I don't see it that often, but I think this was added on after and I'm not sure how secure the emblem is or how it will look after being in an engine compartment
2. 351 Cleveland- I like how this one says the engine type. The emblem is also part of the cover and not put on after. However it doesn't "pop" like the 1st one
3. Ford Racing- Just like the last one but it says ford racing. I'm not really sure how I feel about this one. It's better than being plain, but I'm not sure if I like this one over the Cleveland logos

I'm not a big fan of the chrome look. Too much maintenance and nothing else in my engine bay is chrome. I have some gray shelby ones on now that seem a little out of place.
The car sounds great. I actually just bought a new set of Jet Hot Long tube super comp headers coated Jet black. My old ones look like they were painted white. I had a gasket leak and they looked pretty worn so, I decided it was time for a change. Jet hot makes AWESOME headers. They're coating is better than ceramic since it coats the inside as well and you can get it in something other than chrome. I'm also getting some electronic cut outs for showing off purposes. It already sounds good, but the open flow when I want it is definately going to be a crowd pleaser at some cruises and shows.
