[Tigers] Chrome Valve Covers follow up

[Sandy Ganz]

This will be a docile engine for the Tiger ;-)

The injection is a TWM EFI (replacement for 48IDA's) setup that was for another car but won't fit, so it has to be used somewhere, and seems like a nice thing for the tiger. The combination I have been using is a 331 (3.25" stoke), with about 10.2:1 compression. So will do well around town as well as on the track. The Cobra is mine, almost done too, and the GT350H is my cousin's that he is working on. The rest are the owners of the shop (some old lambo's, and other odds and ends). He is nice and lets us work out of his place as long as we take care of it. Never ending supply of unfinished projects...

Jeepers! Looks like about a billion dollars worth of hardware on the 
motor. Aluminum block, canfield heads, Hilborn or kinsler efi fuel 
injection. Is this going to be stroked as well? What are you going to do 
with the Tiger when finished?  Looks like a real race setup for sure! I 
am jealous, lol.. Also, looks like alot of neat rolling stock int he 
various pictures. Definitely not my shop!

I put on a second gasket and it seems to clear. It may require a bit of a ding with a ball peen hammer and it may just work when things get into place. I will still have to test it at lift to make sure it all works and get it all bolted into place. The taller aluminum cobra style fit fine, but they are the taller casting version for roller rockers which are a bit taller then the tiger castings. The ends are I think going to be the only problem just due to the non-squared ends of the valve cover, the aluminum ones are more square it seems.
