Just a shout out to all the members out there!
Not much action in the zone lately…just sayin.
Where is everybody?
I’d hate to see this site go off grid. Its one of the last places to safely ask a question without fear of shaming!
Hope everyone is doing well!
Cheers

I hear you L\Bronco,
Seems most of the traffic is the later model 1980-1990 Broncos. Personally, I follow 1978-1984 models. Carburetors are my thing and the modification of the year model Broncos I mentioned.
I too hope all are well!

Hey guys, its been a while since I said anything. I'm building a 331 stroker for my 95 EB. Machine shops are becoming few and far between here in Southern Colorado. Any way I have a question. I'm using aftermarket aluminum heads and 1.6 roller rockers. My question is does any one k now of nicer valve cover that will clear the rockers and fit under my Edelbrock EFI truck intake? Thanks

These are older Edelbrock ones, Im putting on my roller 5.0L thats going in my 69 mustang rag. (After I polish them of course.) They are 1/2-3/4” taller than the old tin ones. Not sure about clearance on your intake, but these are the shortest Ive found that clear the roller rockers.
Good luck with it.
Cheers

A bit concerned as well. The place seems empty at times. 🤷

Hey L-
I guess this is one of the photos that didn't post up elsewhere that you were talking about. Works here, so all good.
You know if that type of valve-cover would fit under the Oem EFI 'lay-over' plenum?
That plenum design sure fouled up my project (and no doubt a few others) because of the clearance issue on that side.
I've never been a fan of the way that particular piece of engineering was laid out. It may equal-out the airflow but is too confining and too heavy.
The lightning engine setup seems to have addressed that issue, but that stuff doesn't grow on trees & carries a 💰💰💰premium.....When it can be found.

I got lucky when I found mine. I had it stored for 20 yrs when I found Frankie!

Not sure about the covers, when we get home, I try to remember to get you a height on them.
Cheers
