Has anyone though of the possibility of custom valve covers for our bullitts? It seems to me that one of the really unique items in our cars is the engine. While Ford did provide this engine they didn't do anything to really identifies it. (ie Cobra, Shelby, etc.)
Also, while changing the oil I realized several interesting things about the valve covers. THEY'RE PLASTIC! Is this now common on the Fords and are there been any problems with them? Second, the filler hole is extremely awkward to approach without a funnel or some extenstion nozzle on the oil bottle. Of course, the Mobil 1 bottles have a new cap size and the nozzle I have used for years will not work on them. This is the curse of being an engineer and living with what appears to be the lack of engineering.
Oh well, as the valve covers are plastic it would seem that a mold would not be expensive to produce and maybe they could put a neck on the oil filler.
