I am looking for a set of 5.0 MN-12 Thunderbird/Cougar valve covers. I'll buy or trade. They can't be the older style covers,they have to be the MN-12's.
What is the difference sir?
I have a few sets that I dont know what they are from
They are a little taller than the factory 5.0 covers from our cars and can clear roller rockers.
I'll break out the tape measure after supper
Do you have a pic of them vinnie?
I had some but I'm pretty sure I sped them...I will check when I get home though.
Sorry,no pics. I was told and at one time saw, a pair of MN12 covers that were taller than ours stockers,although they look the same,it takes a third look before you actually see the height difference.
No go on mine .... they are all the short ones
I'll keep looking for some suitable replacements for the ones I have.
Vin I'll try to take a look tomorrow if I can get out to my yard after work. I know for a fact there's a MN-12 with a factory HO. I'll try to get a pic so you can tell me for sure if its what you're after.
Thanks !!!!!
arent you ever happy with what you have??? lol
It's what makes his car so fresh and neat...always something new to see lol
I was,but I have another plan. It's because I went and swapped the intake. My fault,but I have to follow through.
Thanks Beau. I appreciate that.
Hey Vin I had to work late today, wasn't able to make it out to the yard. I'm prolly working late tomorrow, but I might be able to make it out in time. If not I'm pretty sure I'll be able to get out there by Sat at least. I'll let you know when I get out there and get a pic for you.
Do you have any idea what they charge for them They really are nothing that special.
I casn probably get them for about 10/15 for both. 20 at most i'd say
Sweet.
this is unfortunately the best pic I could get of them. Its a little decieving they're really about 2-1/4" tall. If this is what you're looking for let me know and I'll hafta pull them this weekend. There's two sets so they're not going anywhere.
It's the back side that should be taller. I know you can't measure that. Either way,I'll take them. I'll PayPal you or do a trade,or a partial trade...whatever is good for you. Cheaper the better. What year are those?
the ones there are in a 1991 SC that had a 5.0 transplant. But there is a 93 that has the exact same ones in it so I could pull those if you'd rather.
....bugs me to try to figure out why someone would put a 5.0 in a perfectly good SC....:beatyoass:
I'd rather have the covers from a factory equipped car. There's no telling what the other engine came from and if the covers are what I'm looking for.
As far as it being a perfectly good SC....it IS in the salvage yard for a reason. The Engine probably failed and they had access to a 5.0. Or they were trying to finish a 5.0 swap and failed. Who knows. It's a donor car now.LOL.
Sarjxxx is hooking me up. SWEEEEEET!!!!!!
