Ford Small Block 5.0L Chrome Steel Valve Covers

• Chrome-plated steel construction for classic durability and engine bay shine

• Internal baffling helps control oil movement and reduce blow-by

• Factory-style replacement for 1986–1995 Fox-Body Mustang 5.0L/302 only

• Not compatible with 351W due to intake/plenum clearance differences

These valve covers are a factory-style replacement built specifically for the 1986–1995 Fox-Body Ford Mustang 5.0L (302 CID) engine. This is not a multi-displacement Windsor casting — it's a distinct, Fox-Body-specific design and is not interchangeable with the 221/255/260/289/351W covers used elsewhere in this product line.

Construction is chrome-plated steel with a plain top style and a 3 1/4 in. height, using a perimeter-bolt mounting pattern. Internal baffling is built in to help control oil movement and reduce blow-by.

This casting is not compatible with 351W applications, including Fox-Body 351W swaps, due to different intake/plenum clearance requirements. 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 the Ford Mustang 5.0L/302 CID Fox-Body engine (1986–1995) only. This casting is not part of the broader 1962–85 multi-displacement Windsor family (221/255/260/289/351W) used by other covers in this line, and is not compatible with 351W applications — including Fox-Body 351W swaps — due to different intake/plenum clearance requirements.

Installation
Covers use a perimeter-bolt mounting pattern at a 3 1/4 in. height. No gaskets, grommets, or hardware are included. Confirm your engine is the Fox-Body 5.0L/302 rather than a 351W swap before ordering, since intake/plenum clearance differs between the two.

Does this fit any Windsor-family Ford engine, or just the Mustang 5.0L?
No. These valve covers are designed specifically for the 1986–1995 Ford Mustang 5.0L (302 CID) High Output engine. They are not interchangeable with other Windsor-family engines, including the 221, 255, 260, 289, or 351 Windsor, which use different valve cover configurations.

Will this fit a Fox-Body Mustang with a 351W swap?
No. These valve covers are not compatible with 351 Windsor engine swaps. The 351W uses different cylinder head and intake manifold dimensions that require a different valve cover design.

What years of Mustang does this fit?
These valve covers fit 1986–1995 Ford Mustang models equipped with the factory 5.0L (302 CID) High Output 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.

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.

What's the height of these valve covers?
These valve covers measure 3-1/4 inches tall and use the factory-style perimeter-bolt mounting pattern for 1986–1995 Ford Mustang 5.0L High Output applications.
