Thread: 4v Valve Cover question

    4v Valve Cover question

    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.

    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.
