Hello,
I have a 5.0L 302 from a 92 fox body in my 67 and was looking to replace the Ford Racing valve covers with something different. I was wondering if the following valve covers would work with my engine.

Will year any 302 covers work? How about 351 covers?

Thanks in advance!

 

Yea, any year 289/302/351w covers will work.

 

I had another stupid question, but these valve covers each have a hole for a breather cap on both sides. My current valve covers only have a breather cap on the drivers side.

Is this ok?

 

Yes its fine. The other hole is for PCV valve.

 

Get something that's cast aluminum, and run the Fel Pro 1 piece rubber/steel core valve cover gasket. That way you won't get valve cover leaks.

 

Which ones you are referring to?
I think these are them:

These also came up in the search:

I guess that's the ones he's referring to:

Yup, them's the ones. But you need a good cast aluminum valve cover so there's enough rigidity in the sealing lip. Valve cover leaks are caused by crappy gaskets and crappy covers, both of which need to be fixed.

I'm running those covers with the Fel Pro listed above. 0 issues with leaks, but the covers are tall(to clear any valve train you desire).

 

sell me those old valve covers if you get rid of them

 

What if I went with the Cast Aluminum 'Shelby' valve covers and a pair of spacer with 4 gaskets to achieve clearance? Would I be asking for trouble?
