Seems like I always need help on something.
We are working on the new aluminum head intakes and need to know the clearances we have to work with. Since I have a 67, which has the wider bay, I need some input from the rest of you that have early Mustangs and Falcons.
What I'd like to know, is how much room we have for the manifold, or the distance from the cylinder head face to the shock tower. My 67 has about 9 1/2 to 10 inches of clearance. My best guesss for a early stang (64-66) would be about 8 to 8 1/2 inches? Sound right? I have no idea on a Falcon?
We also need to know how much height we have to work with, as they want to raise the carb mounting flange one inch higher than a stock 2V intake. But considering we won't need an adaptor or spacer, my guess is it will be OK. Can anyone else give me a clearance from the carb face on the 2V intake to the hood? Or the overall height of their adaptors, carb, and cleaner assembly?
These are critical measurements, as we don't want to make the intakes to wide or to tall. But every bit of additional clearance will effect the runner designs for optimum flow, to match the cylinder head cababilities.
Once again, THANKS.
