depends how big the covers are... but should fit under manifold. only thing you may have a prob wit is ur throttle body on the other side (espec if u hav cruise control). only going by memory of what the engine is setup like but.

Yes, I have ford Motorsport rocker covers on mine. There is a (emissions?) tube that runs under the intake manifold that could foul on the rocker covers - I solved it by getting a 1/2" phenolic spacer at the same time which raises the manifold up by that amount - just enough. Cost around $480 all up, I think.
I got mine from Raceparts in Qld - they do mail order etc, and sell, or can get, anything out of the Ford Motorsport catalogue. If you just want different rocker covers, I have my old set painted in crinkle finish black - $80 (plus postage) and they're yours.

We have a chrome plater at work i was thinking about getting them chromed that way i know they fit i think that alloy would have looked better but i had a look last night and the cruise control bracket runs very close to the standard covers.
