Thanks to Ryan and Chad things went very smoothly.

 

Rich, looks great man! Couple of questions:

Did you have them finished or buy them that way?

Did you change valve cover gaskets?

What did they say to torque the bolts to?

Was there a thread where they explained process to change out?

Outstanding job. Looks 1000% better...

 

Good deal.....

 

Nice change.

 

GRYPNY: Outstanding!! Are these FRPPs? Got to get a pair of these on Cal! Thanks for sharing. They look great. Fellow old schooler. CalStang.

 

I see you got your new sticker on too!! BTW, before you all kill me, I am just jabbing at Rich for putting stickers on his car!! Brenspeed kicks butt!!

 

nice subtle change. i cant believe how cruddy our stock covers look. it is really noticable when you have them side-by-side like that.

still waiting for something like this to come out for the 3v:

Haha! It was fun as always working with you two. I thought that Rich's new sticker said "Brenspeed's Bit**" though.

 

I had them powdercoated locally. I got a set of stockers sent to me for free and paid $100 to have them coated. I'm sending mine to another guy who can do the same thing. It's hard to tell in the pictures but they are powdercoated polished aluminum to try and match the tanks.

The original gaskets were fine and the bolts are supposed to be torqued to 89 in lbs.

This coming week the shaker gets installed and the hood gets painted. After that I need to take a mod rest.

BRENSPEED "FANBOY" At least that's better than what you were calling me yesterday.

 

Rich looks awesome!

 

Looks great. I'm too lazy to take the time to take mine out and paint them. Ha

 

How long did it take you to remove the covers?

 

Very nice! I swapped mine out this weekend also, I'll be putting pics up in my mod thread (link in signature) later today.

 

As another "Old Fart" - I always enjoy seeing what you have done to your car - really looks great! Of course, the mineral grey makes the "difference"

 

Mineral Grey is the rarest color in my area, I have only seen 1 in 3 years, I love that color on the Mustang, very sexy but understated and it really looks good at sunset.

 

Ford Racing 3-Valve Cam Cover install

Looks good!

They are the ugliest things stock under the hood. The next thing are the stock manifolds!

I also had mine set out for powder coating. I just planned it when I was going to be out of town for a week. Removed them, dropped them off, vacation, got home picked em up and installed.

It kind of made the part about vacation that sucks (going home) A little easier.

But nice idea on getting a set from eBay. Do you have an ongoing thread to pass them on to the next person? I remember something similar to that a while back.

 

I didn't get them off ebay. We have a set being exchanged on another board. I'm done so my stockers are heading to Iowa tomorrow. I paid $20 for shiping, $100 for the powdercoating and afew bucks for 2 six packs of beer for my buddies and I.

 

Ahhh, ok, cool. I swear I seen eBay in there somewhere, lol

Too many things going on at one time at the moment I guess

 

GRAYPNY is getting up there in age so you gotta cut him some slack.
