i'm going to put in an LT4 and i'm worrying a little about hood clearance, and getting enough cold air to the engine. does anyone who's done the swap think that an LT1 or LT4 deserves more room ? like the one that this hood offers ? i may get it anyway but having a reason is always nice too =D

 

It well fit, IM sure... i was going to put an LT4 out of a vett in my Cam but its just siting in are shed along with a 69 302 Camaro block ... but IM drop'n in a 383 cuz its going to cost less to put that in then the lt4 in other words get ever thing wireing etc.. or get screwed

 

There won't be any hood clearance issues with either one. They sit lower than most of the stock carb/tbi setups.

 

they sit a lot lower then tpi does... here is a pic of mine..notice how it sits below the dist.

 

thx for the info guys ... that would really suck to try and close the factory GTA hood and crack an intake runner =D

i think i may still get it anyway bc i like it and it'll be different. i haven't seen more than one firebird here with it, and maybe it'll give my car some individuality

 

LOL, you couldnt crack that intake with your hood. Soon i'll get some pics of the motor with STB for a tpi car over it, looks really funny, i could crawl between my stb and the intake, heres a reg pic of mine to show how small it is.

 

that blue intake looks pretty nice....and yes they fit good in there with the stock hood...my friends bro has one in his camaro and he left his beer on the intake.....closed the hood....the can lived!!

 

lol that's crazy ! i think that i may want to keep my current hood after all ... it's straight, perfect/no rust, and makes my car look beatable :sillylol:

If there's that much room, i can probably make a ram air system off my current GTA hood by cutting the metal under those screens and making a filterbox ... do you think it would be able to draw enough cold air there ? i don't really want to run dryer ducting to ground level and i sure as hell don't want the restrictive factory airbox

 

that'd be great if you could post a pic with the STB ... is it one that was designed for TPI cars ?

 

Yes its a BMR 3 point, not at home, so hopefully tomorrow I can get you some But theres about 6" between the intake and the STB i'd guess.

 

What about an LS1 with the Lingenfelter supercharger? Think that will fit under the hood?

 

Heres a few, please pardon the mess, ive been flushing the coolant system, and still not done with all my wiring.

 

That is a lot of room under there.
Can't wait to get mine dropped in.

 

wow. thx, that's going to help a lot.
