    Franks Maverick has every bolt and nut in the entire engine bay clocked the same... I "thought" that it wouldn`t rub off on me then I started to notice that when I was installing the new parts it would bug me if the bolt heads didn`t match one another o_O

    Now that we have pointed this out...lets see who else it will begin to effect when they work on thier car! :rofl2:



    I got the Valve covers from a dealer who sells alot of Ford racing
    and other parts. He has a LARGE ebay store and thats where I found them. We e-mailed each other several times about the Valve covers and he swore that he got them Directly from his soarce at Ford Racing. And that they were a "one off" set made for Ford racing.

    Stephen, You could easily just get a set of fabbed covers from ebay and then find a place to do whatever engraving you wanted I suppose.
    Maybe : COMET 447 or something like that.
