Anyone have any idea how to put 99 style valve covers on 98 heads? Any info will be appreciated. Thanks. It's just 98 heads have too many bolts.

Re: Anyone have any idea how to put 99 style valve covers on 98 heads? Sorry, it can't be done. 98 f-bod's have the perimiter bolts and the 99's up have the center bolt pattern. You would need 99+ heads to use the valve covers.

Re: Anyone have any idea how to put 99 style valve covers on 98 heads? I just finished welding/machining a pair of earlier heads to accept the later center bolt covers. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> I don't really know why I did it........ <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" /> but it can be done.........
Probably costs less than buying later head castings.
Good luck,
