Default Can you fit a Victor JR and Intake Elbow under stock hood?

Planning on a 58mm TB and an www.intakeelbows.com elbow on a Victor JR intake on a 396.

The only time ive seen it for myself is on the 9' Second LT1 in hot rod.

Help me out guys.

Tony.

Yes Yes they may....I took a look at VFN and they hava 2'' Hood. That might cut clearance. 4'' is to damn big for a street car.

Thumbs up

Stock hood won't work. I even machined down the Wilson elbow for additional clearance. I even notched the back of the Glasstek hood too.

You can get one under a stock hood if you drop the engine. I know that Steve Quinn had one on his car with the stock hood. Not sure if he had the motor's crank center lower though.

Would one of those work with a WS6 Ram Air hood? That would be a sweet mod. But wouldn't a LS1 throttle body provide more air over the LT1 throttle body?

The Victor manifold is really for a drag only car. I wouldnt be caught with that on the street. Its a raised intake, you have to fabricate the Fuel lines and Fuel Rails.

I had a Super Vic made for me and I was going to daily drive the car. This intake is not for just drag cars.

I guess not for drag only, but damn close. Those things are spend and take a lot to get them to worky. Tune, Fuel Rails....
