Can get champion 1 pieces once you extract the old ones or 08.5+ 3v heads have a revised plug as wellDidn't they remedy that situation by changing the design to 1pc plugs?

I have another pair of covers I'll likely do something to but for now, I just want to get it running and verify everything is ok, first.I’m not normally big on this but 3V valve covers look really cool polished or chromed
I was a Ford tech for 47 years so I know all about the spark plug deal. The originals on this engine came out with no breaks. If you put just a little anti-seize on the tip shoulder, you won't have a problem in the future.Read up on the spark plug issues first. Those plugs like to come apart.
Just can’t resist a hole in the hood can you? 😂You sold me on doing this swap. Absolutely love it
What helped back in the day was to replace the plugs at about 50K miles. The longer you wait, the more likely they will break. Put just a dab of anti-seize on the extended tip and you won't have a concern in the future. I remember that it happened mainly on trucks, less so on the Mustangs.Maybe; my boss had a 3v 5.4l in his truck; he went to replace the plugs and they came out in pieces.
There has to be a better way.
A Shelby hood scoop could cover it but I like the RoadKill look for now.Just can’t resist a hole in the hood can you? 😂
Nope! And with a blower, itd be killer!Just can’t resist a hole in the hood can you? 😂
I saved the aluminum Mark VIII hood to fabricate a scoop from for the Cougar.What helped back in the day was to replace the plugs at about 50K miles.
