4500 Flange Carb Hat Needed I found a place that sells them but they are huge (5" opening). Does anyone know where I could find one with a smaller opening. I will probably be running a 76GTS or at biggest an 88. They only have 3" intake flanges right? Thanks.

LS1 yes, some pics but none of them are pretty right now, the car is a good bit apart. I'll send them if you're interested though. I checked speed concepts site and it looks like quite a few companies make one that may work. I like the paxton one so far, hopefully they make one for a 4500 serious tb though, they have them for 4150 for sure.

Ahh, the joys of a 4500-flange. 
I've got an EV4150 and it's amazing how much bigger the 4500 is.
Are you running a flat hood? A cowl hood should have no problem clearing the hat and wingnut though.

The 4" hood will not clear it. Remember, I also have a 2" adapter which adapts my 4500 tb to 4150 intake. I didn't even think about the wingnut, damn this is a pain. I'll keep lookn'.

They don't have one either. EV is the only one that makes one for the 4500 serious. SDCE will have one in about a month or more that would be perfect but I need one sooner then that, oh well. Gordon at EV suggested milling my manifold, adapter, and he could mill the hat some as well to gain clearence. I may do this, what do you guys think?

Stock intake and TB, what do they look like again. It's been a while since I've had those parts. I'll probably just go the way of the EV hat and some modifications.
