Edel performer RPM, 1" 4 hole spacer, 3/8" insulating gasket and a 84 HO dual snorkel air cleaner....had to trim the hood insulation AND the hood bracing...but it closes.  This is an older pic and unfortunately doesn't show the hood but I'll keep looking.

I am assuming this is only pertaining to stock hooded cars?

The 4.10 rear and the 2500 converter are in my 87 cougar now along with shorty headers and an off road x pipe with Quick flow lers . You would be suprised how strong that old 150 horse power low po 5.0 runs with this setup . I can't wait for the real motor to go in .

I run a 8.2 deck engine with a Parker Funnel Web intake manifold, 4150 series Pro Systems Carb, and a Moroso 2 1/2 inch drop deck air cleaner and a 3 inch filter.  The engine mounts are custom 2 1'2" tall solid steel instead of the factory 3" fluid dampened biscuits.  Everything else is standard height and I have 3/8" clearance from the top of the cleaner and the hood.
Blueprinted 306, Thumper ported Canfield 195's, TLSR Camshaft, custom motor mounts, Parker funnelweb, Pro Systems Carburetor, Tremec 3550 II, 4.30 gears, Moser Axles, Team Z custom suspension with upper relocation brackets and anti roll bar.  At the track I run M/T 26/10's on Weld Star rims.

Took a pic of the underside of the hood to-day that is more up to date.

Thanks. I pray that a motor mount never lets loose while I'm standing on it!  LOL
