Torque strap installed. After modifying the base plate I have about 3/4” before touching the hood.

Thanks all, After measuring it up I was closer than I thought. A angle grinder and a cutting wheel and the hood will close. I took the base plate out. Drove out the studs, cut the bottom lip off trimmed the edges and mounted it from the top instead of the bottom.

Nice work! That looks pretty mean.

My apologies my intake is the Performer intake not the Performer RPM. I agree that’s probably the culprit. Do you know of a aftermarket intake that is stock height? I still have the original intake but I’m scared it will choke the motor down.

I’m 1.25” off. Originally the car had a 750 Holley with a 1/2” riser. The performer intake was the shortest I could find only a 1” taller than a stock manifold. My dumbass thinking was that I could remove the 1/2” riser and there was just enough clearance to make up the difference. Evidently...

Edelbrock performer rpm intake. With a Holley Sniper on top. Somewhere in the design I screwed up in my measurements. So I’m...

I’m currently pushing through rebuilding my 440/512 Stroker. I opted to try the Sniper 2 EFI. I’m having trouble finding a suitable throttle bracket with transmission kickdown to work with the stock cables. I suppose if I had to I could switch to Lokar cables. Curious if anyone had success...

lol 😆, once I get it all back together I’ll be happy to post a video of it running.

I probably should have been a little more specific. Before the motor was pulled it had a 750 DP. The new motor I’m undecided on whether I want to go with an EFI or a 1050 brawler. I’m honestly leaning toward a EFI system. I understand EFI’s offer pretty much zero performance but this will be a...

Hello all, Longtime reader of this forum and been a Mopar lover my entire life. I currently own a 72 Challenger I acquired about a year ago. It’s currently going through a full engine rebuild. Turning the 440 into a 512 stroker motor. Scat rotating assembly, trick flow heads, hydraulic roller...
