Looking on ebay I've seen a couple of cam covers for pretty cheep, usually less than 100 bucks. Do all cam covers from any 4.6L DOHC engine work or are there certain ones that only fit the marauder.

Same can be said for the timing covers at for about 150 or less

These will be for powdercoating and I would like a direct swap in.

If this has already been covered and there is a thread please post a link. Im on standby for a demo and I'm on the site through my phone. thanks!

Any will "fit" but if you want pcv and oil fill in the same place get a set of cam covers off of a Marauder, same goes for the timing cover, if you want to retain the single bolt style tensioner get a timing cover from a Marauder.

does the pcv location really matter?!? instead of being in the front on the passenger side its in the back on most of the covers on ebay

you think with either a 2.9 or a 3.4L whipple theres enough room on the back side of valve cover for a pcv connection??, thats the only thing stopping me from buying a pair with the pcv on the back of the passenger side
