Valve Covers
I am having a hell of a time finding "Tall" valve covers for my 400. I bought a pair of Edelbrock Valve covers but my roller rockers hit up against them and it is driving me nuts. Have any of you found a set of aluinum Valve covers for a 400? Please tell me where to look.
Thanks

Just visit a Ford Racing web site.
Type " Ford Racing Valve covers 400" ......in google.
They are beautiful looking valve covers...I have a set for my 429
Because this is Not Really an actual 73-79 truck related topic
Maybe also ask in the:
1) 335 engine series forum.
2) Dressup & accessories forum
3) Aftermarket forum

The biggest annoyance with those covers is that they aren't baffeled and the PCV sucks alot of oil as a result. I finally had to run a catch can in line for mine because it was sucking way too much oil. They do look nice though

You can also set up a baffle inside the valve covers with some sheet metal and a copper "chore girl" scrub pad.

These Blue Thunders would clear the rockers for sure - - dont know about the HVAC though - - they're pretty tall. Sorta NASCAR looking. They are baffled. They are also pretty high coin - - can't have it all....
