Wasn't that a 351 base motor they had? I'm not completely sure which is why I am asking. If it was then he will have a little more clearance. Also don't forget lowering motor mounts, if that is an option for ya.

I just bought a GT with a blower, and will probably dump the blower and go turbo. I also have an Igloo with a GT40 base. I know the Igloo wont clear the Storman Norman hood on the car, but wondered how big of a cowl it would need?


I will let you know tomaorw my freand had one on his car, and he had to cut part of the hood out, I want to say it was a 4 inch and it was just enuf to the top where it would only stick out about an ich, i will let you know tomarow

He still has the hood if you want a nice cowl hood that has been cut out for the igloo
