07SGT Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) Those are beautiful. Please post photos and do you mind if I (we) ask the cost? Just think how beautiful those covers would be in you knew they were covering Hot Rod Cams also.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Carnut12 Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 I can not wait to see those installed, very nice indeed. Have you ever completed a post comparing you fairly New Mustang against the Shelby GT? Just curious on your thoughts between the two.

Have you ever completed a post comparing you fairly New Mustang against the Shelby GT? Just curious on your thoughts between the two. I don't think I've started a specific topic regarding the two cars. I'll have to do that! I've managed to start on the new covers - got the car in place and the garage set up, and removed a couple of things. Also came across this nice guide on Mustang Monthly... http://www.mustangmonthly.com/techarticles/mump_0610_ford_mustang_gt_valve_cover/viewall.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SGT0128 Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Exactly what I thought. I bought the same cam covers. So far they are sitting in the box in my garage. I'm not sure if I have the skills or patients to do the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilmor Posted January 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 I'll be working on it more this weekend and I'lll post some progress photos. I've removed the CAI and strut bar. I've got a nice work light shining on the patient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

07SGT Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Looks like a good step-by-step write up. Just go slow and take it a step at a time. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Do you re-use the bolts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve.Madrid Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 That is really good looking. How about a picture pulled back a little to see how it dresses up the engine as a whole? I have really been considering this as a mod but have been looking at the "Ford Racing" blue covers, but now these have definately caught my eye.

I have really been considering this as a mod but have been looking at the "Ford Racing" blue covers, but now these have definately caught my eye. How's this shot. I think more of the cover shows on the passenger side (less stuff in the way), which I have not done yet. These were also taken in my garage, at night under a light, so I would imagine that a daytime car show would look even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilmor Posted January 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Having an issue but does not appear to be serious. Check out this thread / question which I've posted on the SPP forum.

07SGT Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Just curious, since those are "Racing" valve covers do they make a provision for a PCV valve? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilmor Posted January 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Apparently, as a pcv valve was provided with the covers. Just curious, since those are "Racing" valve covers do they make a provision for a PCV valve? Explained in the other thread - http://www.teamshelb...ave-a-question/ - I'm trying to keep that question separate from this thread for now.

I definately think it adds alot to the overall asthetic of the engine bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilmor Posted February 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 I'm going to continue with installation of the passenger side this weekend, now that my question regarding the PCV has been answered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilmor Posted February 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 Ready to pull the passenger side valve cover - wondering how I'm gonna get it past all these cables....I've removed / loosened all that I reasonably can at this point....

ilmor Posted February 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 Not so bad...took about 5 minutes to wiggle it out...move it out towards the front of the car while pushing the wires away (gently)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
