Valve cover question.

I'm looking to get powder coated valve covers, and instead of buying them for like $300, one of my club members sold me his old ones (after HE got PCed ones) for $30, and I'll have them done at OC Powder Coating for like $75.

My question is, do the covers for an '08 GT fit an '06?

If they don't I get my $$$ back. ;)

They could have the new bolt design which would be less bolts but its the same, they changed it late 07 early 08 with an updated valve cover it works did it on mine

Just found this.


2005-07 4.6L 3V Mustangs were equpped with 14 bolt valve covers. 2008-present 4.6L 3V Mustangs are equipped with 9/10 bolt valve covers. Either valve cover will work on any year model. The 9/10 bolt covers will fit 2005-07 cars & 14 bolt covers will fit 2008-present cars. The covers offered by FRPP are the 9/10 bolt variety.

Awesome. I don't think I'll have a problem then. Bringing them to the dealer to have them installed, so they should know what to do.
