Engine cover (revisited)

[OneMore]

This is what I did for engine cover. Eco Boost Mustang engine cover.

This should be a link to where I purchased from.

All hardware was obtained from my local True Value Hardware store.

I'm thinking when you first got it the ride was a bit rough with a lot of wind noise.

he, @subquark, really enjoyed it in the summer when he cruised to the dump in his SPEEDOS :^)

Why on earth did you go that route? With all the extra drilling, cutting, and hardware? Plus, two depressed bolt holes with no bolts in them...just doesn't look right to my eyes. But then, it may look great to others!

That is one item that I am not even going to worry about for my new Tremor. Initially I was going to. But when the price went stupid I bailed.

When I open the hood I'll just focus on the struts I added.

I'll bet you $100 if they come out with a blue cover you'll buy one.?

At least the bed height is adequate to reach into!?

Consider this one from JCR. I have their 2.7L version on my Bronco. It is very well made, heavy metal, uses mount holes already on the engine, comes in black. They have sales around various holidays too. (photo is the 2.7 on my Bronco.)

This is what I plan to do, cheaper than the OEM option. If my Ceracote guy can't match the Cactus Grey, I'll just leave it black.

Isn't that going to soak up and hold additional heat under the hood?

Better coverage of engine than the now accessory cover from Ford for the Ranger.
Only spent $100 and a little time.
Not for everyone. But I like the look.

That looks great! I wish I had the creativity, skills and patience that so many on this forum have. Nice work!

Looking at the eBay feedback for that engine cover kit. Everyone seems happy with their purchase with many mentioning the quality and fit.
Looks like this dealer sold over 200 for less than $100. Then as his supply dwindled, he shot for the moon by raising the price to $240.
At this point the listing says he is down to his last 1.

Thank you for the kind words.

Whew, I looked through the first 12 pages of your rebuild and couldn't find it! I've never seen anyone add so much.

Yea, I've done a few things to my truck, LOL! The engine cover post is actually the last post on my build thread, page 22
