Help,
I have installed a 351 in my 95 GT, with griggs tubler K member, the problem is the Cobra R (Cervini) Hood rubs on top of my 5.8 Victor manifold, Do I need to change the stock motor mounts or remove the excess material causeing the interferance from the hood.

I dont think that will work with the Griggs K member. Give Apex a call and see what they say.

you did choose a pretty tall manifold and I hope this is just a race car cause the Victor has a shitty RPM power band to drive around on the street.(4-8000rpm) Exactly how bad is the interference. Possibly you could notch the hood enough for clearence or get those drop motor mounts or get a hood with a bigger cowl on it. Changing the manifold might not be a bad idea depending on what else you are running in that combo
--------------------
Go out and do something for yourself today everyone, quit depending on others

Guy's thanks for all the inputs, However the manifold is perfect for a 408, I need hug amounts of air and with heads flowing @ 330in and 240ex and 10psi of boost I need HP at the top end.

Hey, you're the one that put too big of an engine combo in your car! I know in my kit car my intake choices are limited due to hood clearance, and there is no way to weasel out of it short of cutting a hole in my hood.
