[Tigers] Aluminum heads and firewall clearance

[Sandy Ganz]

Thanks, and thanks all for the various combinations of what folks are using.
I'm somewhat excited as the chrome Hipo289 covers might work with a bit of
work. I have a set of T&D shaft rockers and will just have to mock up and see
what hits but they have no tall poly locks that stick up, but don't know about
the rest of the stuff. Also seems that some of the rails for the valve covers
are raised on some heads, but again not sure on the heads I'm using
(Canfield's). Which does have the raised exhaust ports so might run into other
issues (Headers are going to be custom for sure).

Good stuff, thanks again
for the info!

Sandy

I recently installed a new Ford 5.0 crate motor with aluminum
heads. I used
the cast Tiger valve covers, with cut down fins, and Tom Hall's
aluminum
spacers to clear the roller rockers. The valve covers clear the
firewall
but it is tight.
