Hood Clearance ? Reply #2 – February 09, 2006, 07:01:44 PM I'm pretty sure the 351W is 2" higher than the 302 where the intake meets the block Quote Selected
Hood Clearance ? Reply #3 – February 09, 2006, 07:06:43 PM mk thank you. and since intake would be 2 inches higher where it meets the block on 351W vs 302 the 351W carb would be 2 inches higher than 302 theoretically. still does anyone know if the 3.8 CFI would be roughly the same as 302 ?
