Yes I have the roller rockers and roller cam. I use a second oil cap with the pcv in it. I have never had any problems with this set up. It is all stock Cobra parts in the engine..

I am running the 82-85 HO finned valve covers on a 94 Cobra 5.0 in my 67 coupe no problems. I used the Ford metal gaskets.

Look for casting numbers behind the fuel pump linkage on the side of the bowl. If it is 1.08 it is 475-500 cfm if it is 1.12 it is 600cfm.

Ford came out with tsb 99-08-16 that showed to use 5w30 in all engines late 80's to 99 then they came out with tsb 02-01-09 that stated to use 5w20 oil in everything except 4.0 Mustang, Ranger and Explorer.3.3 Villager and 3.9 Lincoln LS .They still use 5w30.The part store specs stem from these latest recommendations from FORD.

The bolt that LMR lists by the Ford number 55981-s2 looks like a sheet metal screw , almost like a license plate screw.

I believe the bolt is a standard size by the Ford part number. The catalog does not show the size.

The item specifics list brand as QP which is probably Quick Performance. They are stating that it fits a Ford 8" rear end.

It sends vacuum to the egr valve using  a signal from the pcm. There is usually a red plastic line from the regulator to the egr valve on the stock FORD vacuum harness.
