They are the Ford Racing part for the 5.0 Mustang engine. I got mine from American Muscle.com but the price has gone up a lot since I ordered mine. I would look elsewhere. If I remember correctly my dealer parts guy would get them for me for $140. You can find them on line for about $125, but you still have to go to the hardware store for the 6 Allen head bolts.

Man, you guys got to figure out the penium cover part, I don't see why ford left the engine compartment so plain. I like the Boss covers.

Fuel rail covers to cut down on NVH according to Ford. Mine will be covered by the Mustang top engine cover when I get it installed.

Those M6 bolts worked like a charm! I put some grease on them help them into the valve cover holders. Excellent find!!!

Leave them out enough to let the rubber grommet grab the head of the bolt. Worked great.

I'm glad it worked out for you too. What are the issues for adding the mustang cover? I don't have one to look at and I didn't want to order 1 without knowing if it was possible to get it to fit. Clearance on the back wall for example. I don't want to have to cut it up badly to install it. I was hoping it is just a matter of routing the hoses and getting rid of the intake tube with the resonators. Can you take a pic of the underside of the cover?

At that website, they are only $75. Is this the correct one?

Anyone know the part number for the foam pieces I ordered a cover and will possibly need to cut those foam pieces and would like to have a second set. I'll blow the money for the cover and will do whatever it takes to get it installed or chuck it if it doesn't work
