Product Details
Features
- Chrome-plated steel construction for classic durability and engine bay shine
- Internal baffling helps control oil movement and reduce blow-by
- Fits FE Big Block V8s: 332 through 428 CID across Ford, Mercury, and Edsel
- Confirm your specific FE displacement — some year/casting variations differ
Description
These valve covers are built for the Ford FE Big Block V8 family, covering 332, 352, 360, 361 (1958–1959 Edsel), 390, 406, 410 (1966–1967 Mercury-only), 427, and 428 CID. The FE family shares core architecture across these displacements, but some year and casting variations don't interchange cleanly, so confirming fit against your specific engine is recommended before ordering.
One important distinction: the FE 410 (1966–1967, Mercury-only) is a separate engine from the unrelated 1958 Edsel-only 410, which belongs to Ford's distinct MEL engine family and is not compatible with this cover. Confirming which "410" you have is a required step, not just a suggestion.
Construction is chrome-plated steel with a plain top style and a 3 1/2 in. height, using a perimeter-bolt mounting pattern. Internal baffling is built in to help control oil movement and reduce blow-by. These covers are sold as a pair without gaskets, grommets, or mounting hardware, so those should be sourced to match your specific application.
Applications
Fits Ford FE Big Block V8 engines: 332, 352, 360, 361 (Edsel 1958–59), 390, 406, 410 (Mercury-only 1966–67), 427, and 428 CID. Common platforms include Ford Galaxie/Fairlane/Mustang/Thunderbird, Mercury full-size and Cyclone/Cougar, Edsel (1958–1959 only, 332 and 361), Ford F-Series trucks (352/360/390, 1965–1976), and the AC Cobra (427) and Shelby GT500 (428).
Installation
Covers use a perimeter-bolt mounting pattern at a 3 1/2 in. height. No gaskets, grommets, or hardware are included. Confirm your specific FE displacement and casting year against this cover's specifications before ordering, since some FE year/casting variations don't interchange cleanly.

Engine Fitment
COMPATIBLE WITH
FORD FE BIG BLOCK V8 ENGINES
• 5.4L / 332 in³
• 5.8L / 352 in³
• 5.9L / 360 in³
• 5.9L / 361 in³ (1958–1959 Edsel)

• 6.6L / 406 in³
• 6.7L / 410 in³
• 7.0L / 427 in³
• 7.0L / 428 in³
NOTES
• Verify FE valve cover pattern, breather location, and rocker arm clearance before installation — the FE family shares core architecture, but some year/casting variations don't interchange cleanly without confirming fit.
• The FE 410 (1966–1967, Mercury-only) is a different engine from the unrelated 1958 Edsel-only 410, which belongs to Ford's separate MEL engine family and is not compatible with this FE cover — confirm which "410" you have before ordering.
• 361 was primarily an Edsel (1958–59) and later Ford truck (1968–1976) engine, not a mainstream Ford/Mercury passenger-car option — uncommon outside those applications.
• 332 was used only in 1958–1959 Ford (and briefly 1959 Edsel) — earliest and shortest-lived FE displacement.

Q&A
What FE engine displacements do these valve covers fit?
These valve covers fit Ford FE-series V8 engines, including the 332, 352, 360, 361, 390, 406, 410, 427, and 428 CID applications.
Is the 410 the same engine across all applications?
No. The FE 410 was a Mercury-exclusive engine produced from 1966–1967 and is part of the Ford FE engine family. It is different from the 1958 Edsel 410, which belongs to Ford's MEL engine family and uses a completely different valve cover design. Verify which 410 engine you have before ordering.
Does this fit an Edsel?
Yes. These valve covers fit 1958–1959 Edsel models equipped with the FE-series 332 or 361 V8 engines. They are not compatible with Edsel models equipped with the MEL 410 engine.
What material are these valve covers made from?
These valve covers are manufactured from steel and feature a durable chrome-plated finish for corrosion resistance and a classic appearance.
Is this cover baffled?
Yes. These valve covers feature internal baffling to help control oil movement inside the valve cover and reduce the amount of oil reaching the breather openings during engine operation.
Will this fit my Ford F-Series truck?
Yes. These valve covers fit 1965–1976 Ford F-Series trucks equipped with FE-series 352, 360, or 390 V8 engines.
Do these come with gaskets or hardware?
No. These valve covers are sold as a pair only. Gaskets, grommets, breathers, and mounting hardware are not included and must be purchased separately to match your specific application.
Will these fit an AC Cobra or Shelby GT500?
Yes. These valve covers fit FE-powered AC Cobra models equipped with the 427 V8 and Shelby GT500 models equipped with the 428 FE V8, provided the engine uses the standard FE valve cover bolt pattern.
