In any case, my stockers have some crud on them that wont freaking wash off.
Great addition, some nice finned covers. A Ford emblem or "Cobra powered by Ford". Of maybe

3V-281 CID would be a good idea.

I wonder how much it would be if they cast them? If not im liable to buy a set of used or new covers and have someone wel on some metal fins. Then grind the welds for a nice look. Would be sweet. I would pay $700 for a cast set though. No questions asked. Hell I would paint them with hamered red and sand the tops of the fins and polish them. Would look sweet.

Why is no one after 5 years has not come out with a good set? BBK where r u on this? all folks have done is throw some paint on them.

The engine will be around for several more years, so do the math, there has got to be a market out there for a quality set.

I got the FRPP ones for my car and I like them. I like a clean and subtle design. I wouldn't mind the Morosos but I'm not forking that much money out for something that does nothing.

Was thinking of having "Ford Racing" painted onto mine in white..With the current luck I am having though, the white paint would over spray onto the black powder coat, ruining them.

I'd rather have powdercoated, stock magnesium covers, than bulky aluminum covers. If you've got Moroso I can understand, but still... $700.

I've got the black wrinkle coat valve cover and they look nice, I got them when I had the SC installed at brenspeed for a good price since I let them keep my stock ones for them to have powder coated.

Ford Racing sells a wrinkle black, winkle blue, and chrome. None have any logo on them though.

Man it seems that would be one of the easiest to find but so far no luck.... I am afraid if I get a set painted it won't hold up to the regular wear and tear.....
