So I got my harwood 3in. cowl hood and test fit it, its just a little to short to clear my supercharger.

I need about a 1/4 so i can get a air cleaner tube on top of my carburetor so i can get ample air to my setup from the front bumper or wheel well.

Should i consider a shorter carb? Im using a holly 600, is there any carbs that are a little shorter?

Think i should use a solid motor mount to drop the entire engine a little?

What do you guys think? I will not use a taller cowl hood

 

cut a little hole in the hood and re-glass the bulge.

IDK how much you can lower the engine before clearance elsewhere becomes an issue. what motor moutns do you have? if they are original, they are already a bit lower than what the solid or poly mounts would be at.

can you get a thinner bonnet for the top of they carb? not sure you can get a thinner carb...

 

If the carb is setting on top of a huge spacer, look at getting a thinner one. I've seen some people setting the carb on top of a 2" thick plate on top of the manifold to get more plenum volume.

 

Lets see what this induction system looks like before we can offer suggestions.

 

im trying to figure out where to buy what im talking about, i know spectre sell the kit im thinking of but ive seen the gm part before and would rather something like that. Ill figure it out guys,

ITS A TIGHT FIT FOR SURE no matter what i do
