Anyone running a 351w and Vic Jr intake???

[67GTCOUPE]

Looking to see how everyone fits the 351w and vic jr under a stock hood???????

What don't I know, because with my 750 holley........It ain't happening.

Hmm, I have the Vic Jr on a 427windsor and it fits fine under the stock 65 hood with the drop base filter? I have a 750 Mighty Demon on it.

I run a super Vic Jr on my 426W and it is not even close.
Check my pics and see here, http://www.cardomain.com/ride/958894

But I am not sure how much taller it is than a regular vic jr manifold.

Do you know the height off the deck of the Vic-Jr? I have the RPM and can BARELY (I mean about 3/16th of an inch) fit a 1-inch spacer under the Holley even with the Shelby hood and use the K&N Airstream. The tolerance is too tight, break an engine mount and trash a hood? No thanks.

I also have a 427W, but I have a hole in the hood for a fuctional hood scoop and the top of the dropped base 13" dia. air cleaner w/Holley 850 pokes through it about 1/4".

If you are running a spacer under the carb., measure it and see if taking it out would allow it to clear.

WOW.

Could you please tell me:

1) Stock motor mounts?

2) Height of air filter?

3) What air filter housing you running?

Thanks

Uhh, better late than never? Stock motor mounts, AF height 2.5", a really dropped AF base, 427 stroked windsor with 9.2" deck height.

I'm going to be running the same combo, except with Shelby hood and my original motor mounts are toast.
Doing the research on replacements I've discovered what you may already know....the 67s have a unique frame bracket/motor mount and that the mount is generally no longer available.
Many parts suppliers try to sell you the 68 style mount, which is taller. Using these with original 67 frame brackets raises your engine, potentially causing hood clearance issues.
Rather than replacing both the frame bracket and mounts to 68 style, I opted for these Total Control items for $200 for added security:

Those look really nice for 2 bills! You said they are "Total COntrol", you don"t mean TCP do you, they look very similar but different and cheaper.

I used the Prothane mounts on my 67, and the different frame brackets were discussed here recently. I don;t think they are quite as nice but they are about half the price. Here's a couple of snapshots of mine:

yeah, i found them cheapest actually at TCP:

the other option I found from Ron Morris Performance had more adjustability but I felt they wouldn't be quite as strong.
I really like those mounts of yours, but I reconciled that I would have had to replace the frame brackets

I was going to buy the prothane ones.they look AWESOME!, but I have spent so much on the money pit lately, that I need to draw the line.

I actually ended up modifying my stock ones with the 1/2" grade 8 bolt thru it..........it isn't going to seperate now.

I got the prothane ones after my engine ripped the stockers in half at the strip. Good thing the motor didn't go through the hood!
