Hood Clearance -
02-05-04, 09:29 AM
I have a 95gt with the Saleen body kit and S351 hood. I want to drop a 351W into it. My setup would use aFR185 heads, TFS intake. Will my intake clear the hood? Did saleen do anything special to make the 351 fit under the hood. Thanks in advance.

They dropped the motors 1/2"-1" in order to get them to fit under the hood.

Mike is correct. My motor sits pretty low even though I have the full carbon fiber hood. It has lots of clearance, but everything clears because the motor sits low.

you can get drop motor mounts from companies like HPmotorsport, www.hpmotorsport.com
They are solid, but should give you increased clearance.

What is the height difference between a stock hood and the S351 hood? 1" 11/2" 2" ?

Edwin,
The rise on my hood is about 1 1/2 inches over stock height. I don't know if the composite hood is any different than mine on height. My hood is the all carbon fiber one.
