which hood for a 351 and trick flow intake

Strim91GT · 10-31-2002, 02:44 PM

Is anyone running a 351 windsor based engine in their 87-93? I've got a trick flow 351w efi manifold on mine and my mustangs unlimited mach 1 high rise hood won't clear it. I think it is maybe a cervinis stormin norman hood, it looks just the same, finished underside liner and everything. Just curious as to what hood people are using. i'd like to maybe stay away from a 4" cowl hood for on the street.

You should be able to get by with a minimum of 2" cowl.

I'm running a 351 also with a Trickflow efi intake,I have a 2.5" American sportscar design cowl hood. No clearance issue's but I am also using HP Motorsport drop solid motor mounts, they lower the motor about an inch or so. Throw a set of those in and you should be good.
