96-98 Cobra hood on 94-95 mustang

supposedly u can fit a 351w under these hoods if that helps?

i have a 96-98 cobra hood on mine. i also have a 351. it has fox accessories and the AC compressor is where the PS pump is on the SN95s. we had to notch the inside of the hood at the edge of the compressor to get it to close.

but i also have an aftermarket k-member that is supposed to drop the motor about 3/4".

will an RPM II intake fit on your 302 with a stock k-member and a 96-98 cobra hood?

i have no idea. mine is so far from stock that it is pretty much impossible to answer fitment questions for other folks. sorry

that said, i think the 96-98 cobra hood does give a little more clearance

my k-member is AJE as well. i am now fairly confident it will fit under a cobra hood. did you order the k-member with any drop? if you are doing rockers, i recommend comp magnums ... they fit under stock height valve covers. stock height VCs means you don't need a spacer, which means the intake sits lower, which helps with hood clearance.

i have always assumed my hood is oem, but now that you mention it, i am not 100% sure. it was on my 1996 gt when i bought it, and i swapped it over to the 95 when i bought that.

you know, i couldn't say for sure because originally, i had one of the older style aje k-members before they re-designed them. they had an option for dropping it back then. fast forward to a year ago when my k-member was bent by my son going over the curb in it and i needed a new k-member. i called aje again and told them that i needed a replacement and that my original had a 3/4" drop and they said, "ok, we'll send you a new one". the new one was very different from the old one, and with it, my mechanic did have to notch the hood where it was now hitting (it didn't hit with the old one), so either there was less of a drop, or the engine was not as far back as before.

you might check into the comp magnum rockers, i am pretty sure they fit under most stock height valve covers. i know for sure that they fit under mine.

and no, my cobra hood is not for sale, sorry. i love it too much.
