Trickflow kit, which intake spacer?

[sage2k]

Im thinkin about getting a trickflow kit in the near future
I know I need throttlebody adapter and intake spacer
which size intake spacer would you think is ideal? 3/8 inch or 1 inch?
I have a Cobra RR cowl hood so hood clearance wont be a problem.
Will the intake spacer cause any fitment problems with the air intake?

I know 351's are different, but I'm using a 3/8" spacer and it just barely clears the tall valve covers, but it clears.

3/8" is what you need

 

[sage2k]

shouldnt hurt to get the 1 inch though right?

may not fit under your hood...

I had a cobra rr as well and it was somewhat close on the clearance with the 3/8...if I remember correctly...but I could be wrong it has been awhile since I had my 95

I fit a 3/8" spacer under the stock hood without too much problem. I had to remove the under hood padding, and there was one spot that I had to trim a little so it wouldn't rub on the intake.

I guess I am not too sure on how much extra clearance the Cobra RR hood has over the stock one. If it provides an extra inch of clearance, I would think that you could run either the 3/8" or the 1" spacer without any issues.

ill be amazed if it doesnt fit under my hood, the cobra RR is a fairly big cowl

I don't think it's JUST the spacer you have to worry about. The intake itself is pretty darn tall.

Guess I'll see when I try to lower this bad boy in there.

 

[sage2k]

let me know how that goes gcomfx
are you still with stock hood?

i had a one inch under my stock hood. had to remove the padding and cut some bracing out but it fit under the hood. with an "rr" hood you wont have any problems. my one inch didnt make a big diff. with the cai. i just turned the boots a bit and had to pull some slack out of the piping. it fit just fine though..
