Valve covers are meaningless

By Royce P - 01/29/2006 10:09:44 AM; IP 207.69.137.204

Any FE valve cover will fit any other FE. Early 427 heads have a cerain casting number. What is the casting number between th center spark plugs on your heads? A flashlight and some cleaning solvent might be needed, this area is sometimes covered in sludge but can be easily seen without disassembly.

Also, is the block cross bolted?
