I'm not in the habit of asking questions like because I usually know what I want BUT, I'm at a cross roads about what to do.

On my 460,I already have the Polished aluminum " FORD RACING " valve covers.To go with these I have few options.
A Ford Racing 2/3 filter/Open oil filler cap for the Valve cover or Ford Motorsport Oil filler cap.Should I gpo with the 1st one or second one or wait until they make a Ford racing to match the 2 nd one?
Next,Air Cleaner housing.
I have the choice of a Shiny Aluminium " Ford Racing " @ $54.95,"Ford Motorsport"@$52.95 or a Plain chrome (no writing) @ $30.00
I also have access to powder coating it Antique chrome or a polished aluminium Look for a slight extra charge.

Me: I like to keep everything the same ,its just that not everything is available with the Ford Racing script.

Oh,What to do,What to do ?

Comments please !

Dennis -
In my oppinion, I would probably wait off until the Ford Racing is available. I don't think you'll be happy unless it all ties in together. (I know I wouldn't be) And as far as the air cleaner box, i think a brushed chrome would like nice with a polished Ford Racing in script. I've actually been looking at chrome air cleaner box covers and that is most likely going to be my choice.

Good Luck!

Dennis,
When i ordered my valve covers from Jegs, the ones in the book said "Ford Motorsport" and it came with a matching oil filler, and i even ordered the air filter (housing) too. well it came and it ended up being Ford Racing valve covers and a Ford Motorsport oil breather and air filter housing... well to tell u the truth i didnt even notice until a few weeks later when i was putting the box in the attic. then i had to go look due to dis belief, but to this day only one person who has looked at my engine has noticed or at least pointed it out (shhhh dont tell).

If i were you i would go with the breather that has a half shrouded, half open air filter looking thing on it, (if thats the other one you were talking about) a friend of mine has one on his 302 and its really classy lookin, and you can turn which ever side forward you want to (depending what kind of mood you are in :-( :-) ) . In conclusion (seems like i always have a conclusion these days, and way to many parentheses) if i could do it all over again i would go with the tall, half open half air filter looking thingy oil breather. but then again, its your truck
P.S. theres some pics in my gallery if you want to see what the mismatch looks like, not sure if i have any of that side of the engine or not but you can get an idea.

 

Thanks,I couldn't wait any longer so in June I ended up buying Both.
The motorsport and the half open Ford Racing.

But get this, Michelle's daughter's boyfriend (ie: son in law)got a new job in June and he is Chroming all my engine and underhood bracket's for me.This is not the bumper chroming process. This is the industrial chroming process you see on table and chair legs,etc

So now it's alternator,power steering,cruise control brackets.Plus,thermostat housing,M/C cap,boltheads.
You name it ,All for N/C.
What a good boy he is !

I fixed his Dakota PU and he wanted to do something back for me.
