I want some that have the Cougar Head and say Cougar after that. One line. Not a big fan of the walking cat, unless I own a nice 70 Eliminator lol.

Those are reproductions of the original 1960s-era valve covers used on some Cougars. The originals are very, very uncommon and command big bucks if you find them. These Mustangs Unlimited covers are very solid, nice pieces. Johnny Cougar is using them on his car. They're not really meant for EFI although he got them to work...it's a tight fit though. You have to use a flexible funnel to put oil in, which is about the biggest drawback. And you really can't see a whole lot of that awesome emblem with EFI either. Although they're not really tall covers I'm betting fairly high-lift rockers could be used under them.

I bet they are the same height as the FMS Cobra ones I have. If so roller rockers would fit :D

Yeah, I have them.  I had to knock off the oil inlet tube and had my buddy custom make a brass push in oil cap on his lathe.  Also, got a plastic elbow to run the PCV line from the breather hole to the intake tube.  Also, I am running a 1/2" or 1" or something spacer on my Cobra intake to get the EGR to clear the passenger cover.

Looks hot though.

And yeah, you could definitely fit some taller rockers under them.  They are a good 1/2" -1" taller than the OEM HO covers (MN12 ones, at least).  Hence, the spacer.

You know it might be possible to grind down the emblem on the finned Ford Racing EFI valve covers and add a Cougar logo. Just a thought.....
