working with fiberglass

**blkp42e** · 06-06-2007, 02:00 PM

well, i talked to cervinis today and they said with the ram air kit the hood is designed to sit flush with factory. so i didnt rub before, but now i put my 1" intake spacer on i cant get the hood closed.

cervinis told me it will be a bitch to cut that thing off, but it should give me an extra 1.5" of clearance.

so to the question. what do you think the easiest way to get this thing off is going to be? there are 4 rivits on each side that ill have to drill out, but then i think they have the things sealed on there somehow.... maybe best way will be with a scraper or something to strat sliding under it and maybe break the bond.?

use a cutting wheel...thats all molded together from cervinis.

It would be easier to get new motor mounts to drop the engine 1".

And judging by the work he did on the twin turbo kit, I'd say he's perfectly capable of fabbing up a set of mounts by then.

Just that you're perfectly capable!

I thought there were some that were like a 1.5" drop that some people use for installing a 351W under a stock hood.

if you need a hood ot use for FLD you can use my Cobra RR hood. its in primer but it will allow you to clear. i bought the hood to help clear my GT40P intake with 1" spacer

the hood isnt the prettiest thing to show off but would allow you to run at FLD
