May sound like a stupid question, but your engine is lowered correct? I am just wondering how much lower you had to make your engine for it to almost clear. Do you think there is anyway for different mount to be designed in which the engine can be lowered even further?
No I did not lower my engine, I know UPR offers mounts to lower your engine. And there's another thread where a forum member installed a BOSS intake, I don't think he lowered his either, but he did relieve his hood in the same manner as I did. I would do a search on Boss intake on this forum to find more info. I know it's not the same intake, but they're pretty close.
Do you think that lowering the engine would prevent the intake from interfering with your hood? Correct me if i'm wrong, but the inside surface of the hood that is creating the interference is higher than the stock hood because you have a cowl-style hood correct? So even if the engine was lowered, it might fit under your cowl hood but it probably would not clear the stock hood without modification right?
I also forgot to say there are no stupid questions. Don't forget I have a cowl hood. The height of the hood was no problem, just the support running across the back.
It would definitely made it close to clearing, but not sure. No on the higher part, that area mimics the stock hoods lower elevation, it gets taller from there up.
NP. That's what I see on other post, mounts will fix the problem.
No problem. Great, hope it works out for you. That's one screaming engine you have, I could only imagine what an intake like that would make it do!
SWEET!
I was pretty gung ho about cams, but now I'm leery of power gains and possible set backs. After going to PRI the last couple of days I will do some more thinking. Ford Racing is going to have cnc'd GT350 heads & valve train, including GT350 cams, but with our firing order. And at some point I need to upgrade the rods, but I'll probably go into next year with less weight and less rolling resistance through a good alignment and 15" DRs so I can come out harder. And the other stuff later.
