351W Questions
I'm working on a 1987 F150 with 351W. I put a new comp cam and roller rockers in. Now the stock valve covers won't fit. I bought some new aluminum valve covers but they don't have any holes for the breather cap. Do I have to cut holes in them or can the engine breath and function without the cap on the valve cover?
Thanks for any help.

When I got it the engine was in pieces in the bed of the truck. I think the cap on the valve cover was the oil cap, so it looks like I'm going to have to figure out how to cut a nice hole in it.
Yes, it is carbureted. No to PCV.
Thanks

I'd return them and get the correct ones with the holes for the breather cap and oil fill.
