55 i6 Valve Cover

Hey all,

i was hoping someone could help me out. I am at work....and i need some spec information.
I need the specs, dimensions of the 1955 f100 i6 Valve Cover.

I own a 55 f100 and have it sitting at home but am a little impatient.

I work at Mazak Corporation, a CNC company, and we have a BIG show coming up where we show off our latest and greatest CNC machines. One of the machine i am incharge of coming up with a demo for is a Horizontal machine and i am making custom valve covers on it. And I thought....WHY NOT MAKE IT FOR MY TRUCK!

So i was just curious if anyone had the specs for one so that i can get started on it NOW! and not have to wait!

Cheers.

I meant to reply to this earlier, sorry. I don't have any valve covers, but if you have the capability of CNC'ing parts, I'm sure we could think of some that would have actual commercial value. In other words, after your demonstration is over, the CAD/CAM file could be used by an outfit to produce them, to all our benefit. I just can't think of anything at the moment.

Maybe an FTE club plaque??
