Fiero Valve covers
Well we finally got them on. We got the valve cover gaskets for a fiero and it worked on my car. So far so good no leaks. We had to rob some studs off a fiero motor to get all the bolts in place. We left off the long ugly clips that you have to use with our stamped steel covers.
Shot of them on the fiero:

Here they are stripped and repainted in candy apple red, with the fins on the top polished instead of brushed as they are on the fiero.

for that air filter, do yo have a hood scoop ramming air into that? what happens if rain gets in, and how would one stop rain or any other water from getting into the air filter?

I have the Suncoast Ram Air hood. The built a baffle within the hood scoup that deflects 99% of the water from reaching the filter. But using a K&N filter like I have will further reduce any whater problems due the filter being oiled. So a properly oiled K&N filter would be the best way to protect your motor from the water. Check my sig pic and you will see the hood.

I went a step further and have ported the plenum, runners, lower intake and heads. I also have a high flow 2.5in cat and flowmaster exhaust. I can't say yet what difference all of this has made. See at the same time we swapped to a more agressive cam and larger injectors, so the car still needs to be tuned to meet its full potential. But HP numbers are up beyond stock, so it didn't hurt thats for sure!

I hope for your sake that is no longer a daily driver, I would hate to have to clean it after a good downpour. You definately have hours of hard labor into it. Very Tasteful Job!
