THe LeMons covers were from the 428 CJ which was actually the engine most used in the 427 street cars. It was also used in the Shelby 500 GT cars of the 60's and 70's. To my knowledge, and I may be wrong, but the solid letter 427 COBRA valve covers are "come lately's" in the motor car game as are the 428COBRA and SUPER COBRA JET letter valve covers. THe originals on the 260 and 289 cars are the frequently seen "COBRA Powered by FORD" style covers.
