Nice project, good to see another option.
How much clearance is there between the steering rack and the oil pan? How far upwards do you think the steering rack can be offset and still maintain clearance?
Thanks.

I finished up the prototyping of the exhaust system this morning and got the car prepped for display at LSFest this weekend. If any of you are attending the event, drop by the Holley trailer and take a look at it in person.

I'd be tempted to go the LT4 route myself as that's a pretty impressive package for the money. I'm fully clued into the LT engine hardware we have coming out, but I don't know what the EFI guys have been working on, so you'll have to do some checking at the trailer. I'll be at the trailer all day Friday and most of the day Saturday.

Man, one of these would make a killer daily driver. Get a low mileage v6 creampuff, add a 8.8 rear, or even a IRS from a Cobra, and off you go...even a 5.3L with a 4l60e would probably run mid 12s...so many swaps to do...so little time!

It would depend on how far forward the raised section projected. As Andrew mentioned, the interference is all in the vicinity of the throttle body, so the raised portion of the hood in question would need to extend that far forward to address it.

Yeah, it makes for a real sensible combination.
