Title: V6 valve cover
Post by: al green on April 20, 2007, 09:55:59 PM
Are their any factory aluminum valve cover for a V6? If not will the valve covers from an 89 an up V6 fit a 87 V6 with a carb.?

The 89-up heads are shaped differently. Where the 87 and older have rounded ends the 89 and newer are angled. Dunno about 88, as it was the only year Fox cars had the SEFI 3.8

88 uses the aluminum covers like the 89+.  They just dont fit an 87.

On ebay, there are companies that sell chrome valve covers for the 3.8L.

I do believe that you can get chrome ones from Mr.Gasket
