No friggin clue :-)

About all that has been written on the subject. Supposedly a small blcok version of their Ford intake. No known pictures, no further talk from BBK. I'm guessing it is a dead duck because of the Stealthram.

Although if they are listening and it can be installed without hood choppie choppie I would be really interested :-) But that would mena you are actually committed to it, which I am doubting :-)

I was wondering the same thing. I read that it worked with the stock fuel rail/lines. That's too bad if they decided to junk it, I would have purchased it.

Worn engine mounts letting it sit lower in the bay would be my first guess. Get a lot of sag over the years.

Or yours sits back just enough or something.

No damage to anything, no visible wear spots on intake parts or hood insulator?
