Did ,at one time, Moroso ever make valve covers for the F. E heads? I am thinking some time in the 70's perhaps.....or am I confusing them with the Holley valve covers from back then... ------------- "I deeply admire the men who founded this country, and I think we ought to know more about them and how they lived and the force and courage they had.

Don't know about moroso, but I've seen cast covers on FEs ------------- "What we do in full frontal view, is more honest than your cleaned-up mind." Randy 1979 T-Bird 2005 F-150 STX RCSB 4.6, 3.55 LSD How the Heck does a REGULAR CAB SHORTBED weigh over 5200 pounds? |

| They do still make them for the 352-428 engines, but the only ones that I know of are made of aluminum. They cost $418.97 a pair (brand new). To see them for sale http://www.summitracing.com/parts/mor-68461/overview/make/ford" rel="nofollow - Click here. |

...I seen those new Moroso valve covers for the F.E....boring.....I am starting to think that there is/was no such thing....what I am attempting to locate would be either the stamped steel or Aluminum Anodized valve covers that had the raised letters M O R O S O on the top portion of the valve cover....they have every other Ford engine family (the ones that matter ) covered 6 ways to Sunday. I do appreciate everyone's help with this

Hi In the early 70's I had a set of the Moroso covers you are talking about. I had them on my 55 Ford 390 4 speed. The reason I bought them was they were different and I liked the gold color on my 390. They did make them but I don't remembering seeing any since the 70's. Greg ------------- Greg |
