Tweaking the cowl a little to clear the intake...

Will you get to retain the wipers? I know your intake was significantly taller than mine.

Looks great.

Driver yes. Passenger, not so much. Removing the tray buys me about an 1" -1 1/4". Still may have to shim the K slightly, but not much if at all.

I try not to go out in the rain, but it happens.

I noticed you skipped the brace on the diff. With your power I'd have thought you would have opted for it.

I asked MWC about it cuz I was on the fence. Because this will be 99.9% street, brace was not necessary in their opinion.

I wonder if you can create a mirror of the driver's side arm so that it could mount on the passenger side, away from center. You could theoretically scavenge parts from an old Trans Sport/Lumina APV/Silhouette which had opposing wiper blades like I am describing. That is, if you want 2 blades. If not, you can also use Rain-X, but it only works well at high speeds and needs to be reapplied frequently.

You murdered your cowl though didn't you? Those Holley's are HUGE! Once this gets back together, it'll appear stock in almost every way with a few subtle changes only seen when the hood is up.....stock SS hood too

Of course, that's the plan
