Valve covers for 2001 4.6 2v

[IrishBullitt7]

Looking for valve covers for my 2001 4.6 2v Bullitt. I imagine all 4.6 2v are the same covers. Just need original stock so that I can powdercoat them to dress up my engine and maintain my original stock in case I need to swap back.
Thanks

you need a bullitt specific passenger side valve cover. it has a different oil fill tube to clear the bullitt manifold inlet

Yes I wasn't sure but thought they could be different
Thanks

 

[ShelbyGT]

no problem. you may be able to switch to a set that has the driver side oil fill for you powdercoated show ones, they are probably easier to find than bullitt ones. just a thought

 

[ShelbyGT]

another thought, our valve covers are plastic. can plastic be powdercoated? i don't thinks so but i'm not sure, painted a color of your choice would look just as good though

 

[IrishBullitt7]

possibly epoxycoating? I heard of that also but dont know who could do it. any ideas in the area. Are you from Caruso's auto?

 

[ShelbyGT]

no, but i live right near them. you probably saw my car there the day i had it inspected. i used wrinkle black paint on mine and its been holding up just fine since i did it back in may. just make sure you clean them really good with acetone to get all the oil off before painting

after looking at some bullitt engine pics i realized that your car already has a driver side oil fill so may be as long as you get driver side oil fill valve covers you'll be ok

You cannot powdercoat the valve covers. Paint is an option.

Thanks you guys have been a big help, still need to find a spare set though
