As cast they probably won't clear, but there is enough material in the cover so that I can machine a flat on the back side of the driver's side cover to provide clearance.  I've done this on a 66 Galaxie and they fit, I think 68 is about the same.  Also, for 67-70 Mustangs and Cougars with power brakes, I can machine a relief in the top side of the cover for clearance to the master cylinder.

Just a reminder that I'm still doing custom valve covers for some folks.  Here is a photo of a pair I just finished, with fins and custom block lettering.  This pair has the driver's cover machined for clearance to the master cylinder.  The two installed caps are for screw-in breathers, but a third cap with the PCV grommet installed is shown sitting on the top cover in the photo.  I still have about 20 sets of covers that are available - Jay

I’m new on this website everything about this is awesome! I would really like a set of those valve covers. I’ve been holding out for Holman Moody, however I think these are great.
