Valve Covers for 351C 4V Q code

[rhigg1959]

Anyone know a good source for custom valve covers for this engine? I ordered a set of Scott Drake that, according to their fitment chart would fit, but they don't fit. They are smaller and won't even
fit over the valve train.

That VC is for a 351 Windsor engine, it will not fit on a Q code Cleveland motor. You need something more like this. The (8) bolt holes will help you visually select a VC that will work for your Q code. Ansen VC's are top notch and have several custom options on their website.

Paula at Ansen told me today that they don't make a VC for my engine.

Ron, is your engine modified where a stock height 351C VC won't fit?

 

[rhigg1959]

No it's the orginal engine. I just looked on their website. I believe she was wrong. I'll call them tomorrow. Thanks for responding.

Ron - Happy to help. Good luck and let us know how it works out.

 

[rhigg1959]

Will do and thanks again.

Just to follow up, then Ansen valve covers fit perfectly.
