Title: Valve cover question
Post by: ISTLCRUZ on June 24, 2015, 05:50:54 AM
Will covers from an 83-84 Mustang GT work on my 88 Tbird? Im switching to Explorer heads soon. These have "Powered by Ford" on them. I notice these have holes in both covers and a H.O. usually has 1, with a small rubber hose that attached.?? Please excuse my lack of knowledge Im learning as I go..LOL. Also I will be switching to Explorer intake...Full H.O. conversion.

You would have to somehow seal the drivers side hole, and then somehow attach your passenger side oil fill and TB vac line to passenger side back hole.  I believe the TB will prevent that from happening.  Maybe you could switch that setup to the drivers side and block the passenger side rear hole????

I too, like those valve covers.

Yeh, I thought they looked kinda cool but if I cant use them I may sell them to a local Mustang guy..
