Wouldn't imagine that an ED rocker cover would fit on a barra, SOHC vs DOHC.

1: wtf is a rocket cover?
2: of course its legal to modify the bonnet provided you either dont cut the bracing (or reinforce the bonnet if you do)

rocket covers are the things that break when your car is a ride off.

YES.......All ford Rocket covers are interchangable !!!!!! We only have these covers to keep the rockets out of sight of non ford owning people! Its our little joke that we still call them rocket covers and they havent picked up whats under them yet !

It's well known that rockert(tm) covers are only to stop the pushrods making dents in the bonnet. Pretty much like cylinder heads, which are to stop pistons doing the same thing.

sheeesh - cut the guy some slack fella's.
Try and remember waaaay back when you were trying to learn things & after plucking up the courage to ask the older guys were laughed out of town. Welcome to the Forums Dodgy2. In answer to your question - no they are not interchangable between the ED & BA stock motors as the heads are a completely different design. |

It doesn't make sense anyway, if its done for bonnet clearance the BA rocker cover is probably higher at the front anyway compared to the ED version, to fit the VCT phasers.
