Well the carb hat I WANTED wont fit.....The EV hat is too tall.

SO I ordered the Spectre hat thats 3.5 tall vs 4 for the EV hat....but DAMN that big EV hat looked WICKED on there!

And I am gonna have to HOPE it fits, I think it will when I notch the rear of the hood.

Lookin good! Did you take any pics with the hat on it?

Well I bought an EV hat for it and its too tall, I want to keep my hood and intake setup I have now. I will have to notch the rear of the hood with either one.

I have the Spectre hat on the way now, its a 1/2 inch shorter but with a 4 inch inlet vs the 3.5 for the EV hat.

I wanted that EV hat, that thing looks wicked.

Chuggin along, I dont think this is gonna fit....it MIGHT. It was my last option.

If it doesnt I have a buddy who will swap hoods with me and I can put a LS1 lid setup on it. It is a 2.5 inch cowl hood he has.

Could lose the spacer and clear up some room. What did you do with the EV hat? I have tons of clearence

FASTFATBOY

iTrader: (23)

Spacer has to be there for the throttle to swing over my fuel rails.

I am trying to keep the hood I have always had.

FASTFATBOY

iTrader: (23)

Still have the Hat, its brand new.

Think it would be possible to make a bracket for the linkage to rise it up enough to clear the fuel rails without the spacer? It would fit for sure without it.

If you can't, have you thought about notching your hood and fiberglassing on one of those small 2" or so fake cowl scoop things like the ones Harwood make? You could mock it up to keep your intake setup and it shouldn't look too bad. That way you won't have to worry about messing with your intake setup, and it would be cheaper then buying a lid setup unless you and your friend swap hoods and intakes and you can do it for basically free.

Just tossing out ideas.

I can notch the rear of the hood, but it is still gonna be close.

FASTFATBOY

iTrader: (23)

It will clear everywhere but in the rear, I already knew I was gonna have to knotch the rear of the hood. If you look at a hood like ours in the back there is 2.5 inches where it drops down to meet the hood seal at the rear. I can notch that, but even if I do it will be VERY CLOSE.

The throttle deal is a no go, when the cable pulls the arm it swings down and around on the bottom to pull the rear flaps open. The fuel rail was notched a little and has minimal clearance to swing.

See here.

As long as it fits. It all depends on how clean you want it. My lid conversion was a pain. The hood closes but I push down on the lid a tad (real tough to close), but it works lol. Different situation, same concept. Unless you're saying that the cable arm won't swing all the way with the hood closed, then that could be an issue.. Hopefully it all works out, if not, maybe a new hood is in order. Good luck!
