I have a friend who has a 4v Cobra with a spare set of valve covers to sell, is $125 a fair price for them? I can't remember how much a used set has gone for on here or what the Ford Racing ones go for.

Thanks

Sounds fair to me.

Double check the PCV location.

$100 is typical for the MM ones. Are you paying extra for a cobra emblem?? :)

The Cobra ones have a slightly different location for the PCV valve on the driver's side.

Yes and you have to plumb it differently. Been there done that several times.

But it's pretty simple to correct?

The Marauder uses a bolt-in style PVC where as the mustang uses a rubber grommet pop-in style. I just lined up the holes and used a small drill bit to start then increased to about a 3/16 size, then just used the stock screws to tap the holes. Its been solid and tight since.
