Well im still waiting on my heads/cam to get this car buttoned up. So i decided to throw the intake manifold on top of the block to see what kind of hood clearance i have. Well the 98 cobra hood i have it not even close.

Do you guys think a 4 inch cowl will make it??

Heres the pics..

BTW that intake spacer is built in.. it must be used in order to bolt the upper to the lower. ED C wants me to use an additional 1 inch spacer, now i know nothing would clear that as well LOL.

Cut a square in the stock hood and let that thing hang outside.

ok pics work again..

Yes the 98 cobra hood is FORSALE... lol

I have no stock hood, so i cant do that joe, that would be pretty hilarious though.

I will do the foxbody tbody conversion soon. Im to cheap to spend money on it now, as the only tb ill get is the polished accufab, which is $$$.

with your fixed pictures i can see the TB now and that thing is really high too- does the fox TB conversion lower it somehow? cuz if it stays that high, you're gonna have a BIG hole in your hood

The fox tb mounts right up next to the intake.. so theres no elbow.

yeah with the fox setup, the TB will be a little HIGHER, cuz it will bolt to the upper and not turn down with the elbow....possible to score some drop mounts??...will they work with our front suspension??...even a 4" is gonna be iffy after seeing that pic with the tape measure...


....PM me if you have a clue what you want for that hood....

The 4" hood would have to clear.

It's not like you are the only guy with an EFI 351W block in an SN95. I wouldn't think that every person that does the swap would have to use drop mounts.

How tight are the headers in there?

Yea there are quite a few people with 351's in 94/95's but i cant think of any who have this intake. Its fairly new.. Most i have seen use the trickflow R or victor 351 intake, which sit much lower then this upper.

Seems as though the headers will fit nicely. Since each primary comes off, they should be easy to install. I cant really get the idea for exactly where they will be without the heads being on there.
