Re: 390 dress up
I think those valve covers look funny installed. They look good in the pic but when they're on the engine they look out of place. I know the Cobra ones are expensive but they have that natural shape that is similar to the stock ones.

Those Autozone ones look just like the other chrome ones but without the Ford logo. When installed, they look like they're crooked. That's my opinion. I'd go with the Cobra ones or use the stockers myself.

Re: 390 dress up
the one's from autozone are round and look like the original valve covers. Did you look at the pics?

Re: 390 dress up
Yes I looked at the pics. They do not look like the stock ones. If you like them, that's fine. stangconv asked for recommendations and I recommend the cobra ones myself.ares360 wrote:the one's from autozone are round and look like the original valve covers. Did you look at the pics?
