Valve Covers

[bobsawyer7]

Have a set of valve covers & coil covers from an '04 Mach 1. It appears that they are the same as ours.
Anyone know of any reason they can't be swapped with ours after they're powder-coated.
Any thoughts on powder-coating vs. painting?
Thanks in advance.

The only difference will be the PCV location / mounting.

Learned thet the hard way with my aluminator. Had to remove one of the wiper cowl supports and drill and tap the passenger side for the pcv valve.

Powder coating looks much better and holds up to the heat. You'll have to tap the PCV location for the Marauder pvc valve and you'll need to use a elbow to run the breather hose into the intake tube.
NOTE: Do not use a metal elbow, it rubbed the metal bracket that holds the cowl and throttle cable. When it rubbed it would make a clicking noise and made the gas pedal vibrate. A plastic elbow fixed that problem.
