just saw this thread. I don't come over to Stangnet much. my 408 is under the stock hood right now. I'm using a stock mount engine moved back an inch in stock K-member and using an Edelbrock RPM intake. Now I still have an Inch of clearance at the highest point. So I'm debating on maybe down the road once the car runs and upgrade from the S-trim to a T or YSi I may go with a Spider intake setup since I have room.

if you have stock mounts and a stock k-member, how did you move it back an inch? did you have to modify the k-member or something?

i am going with a performer rpm intake too

I did what Saleen did. That was take the original slot and at the bottom of the slot and open it(slot it back 1 inch) took a little time.

So just the engine setback allows the hood clearance?

Yes. If you can find an original set of 83 vert motor mounts it will allow more clearance. The replacement mounts Ford or the auto parts places sell don't drop quite as much as the original 83 Vert mounts did. Saleen also modified these mounts to drop it even more. I run a 1 inch spacer with mine and have clearance

2 questions:

1. do the replacement mounts drop it anyway, just not as much?
2. what is the mod to the mounts to drop it even more?

I got it to fit under a stock hood by cutting a square in the bottom of the hood, not all the way through to make a hole. The hood is double layered I just "removed" the bottom layer.
