Anyone one else come damn close to not being able to have an air cleaner under the hood of a stock Iroc. Mine just BARELY fits, II'm talking thousandths of an inch. It will probably rub when driving.

 

hey man i was wonderin the same thing. wut manifold do u have? also u said u have a 5spd? is this the stock t-5? hows it holdin up. oh and one more thing did u have to change the flywheel for the pre 86 block? thanks

 

I have the Torker II intake on, and it is the stock 5 speed, haven't had a chance to really test it, and I did have to change the flywheel.

 

wut flywheel did u have to use? how many teeth and wut size? also were did u buy it? thanks

 

Try a shorter air cleaner.

 

The shorter air cleaners look like crap.
The flywheel I got was off of... I don't know. I'm not sure exactle, but it's alot beefier in size, but a bit smaller diameter, this is so the starter can fit properly, oh and the back of the crank bolt configuration to the flywheel is different on older engines. I'm guessing it's just a manual flywheel from a pre-87 block, could be from a 4-speed I don't know, sorry...

 

dam you got lucky i have a 406 and a edl RPM intake and the smallest air cleaner and i still cant shut my hood so i'am order a 4' cowl induc that way i will have penlty room

 

What about using a drop base air cleaner im about to put a new 350 in my iroc and i just bought a RPM performer intake for it and i was wondering if a drop base air cleaner would fit under the hood...........

 

it should work just fine all i need is like a 1/2 inch and thats all but iam not going to use one cause i dont like how they cover up the carb. so as long as its anything more then a 1/2 drop base you will be fine

 

i am puttin in my carbed 350 and i was thinkin about goin with the edelbrock performer intake cause its not much taller then a stock one so do u think this will fit under my hood just fine? its an 89 formula if that helps

 

the performer fits in my 89 rs....not much room left though..

 

It's all in the air cleaner you use.
