351w stroker intake for Shaker use

[Powershift 19]

It takes a real man to cut up a rare part.....haha

 

Kinda like a Sunbeam Tiger hood? Ha Ha! :clap:

I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel here, so if anyone knows of a better way...or if I'm thinking in the wrong direction... I'm ALL ears! HA HA!

 

Well I can't really say it's a better way, but at least it's another option to consider: I took the front aluminum top cover to a machine shop and had them mill 1/2" off the sides and about 3/4" in from the edge. Then they facricated a sheetmetal cover to fit. I didn't want to cut on my trans tunnel anymore than I already have for shifter clearance. I was able to raise the trans enough to have the engine sit at 4.5 degrees, which is what I measured for the angle of the stock intake carb pad.

Talked to Zed at FOMOCO turns out the drop bases they sell are considered a drop base for a ford falcon.Which means both drop bases are factory height mustang air assembly bases that will drop a Falcon assembly 40 mm and 25mm respectivly.

how about this for an idea? Use whatever intake you want and get a replacement 2003 Mach 1 hood and shape it to fit.

 

I saw this on You tube. The guy is running a 2004 mach 1 engine in his 1969 Mach 1. He is using a 2004 Mach 1 hood

 

 

as you can see here, it looks like it has a 1 -2 inch rise to it.

I have some great pics of that car. While VERY VERY cool, his hood modification is WAY more than I want to do with the body of my car.

I too will be doing something like you are. Although I wont be working with the elevations you are as I am running a modest Edelbrock carb and intake. Did you check out SreetKings thread? He didnt go into a great amount of detail but he pulled it off with a high rise intake. He claims the shaker isnt functional and is more or less a decorative lid for his breather.

I had a Performer Rpm on mine (1970 351W - T5) but the hood would never close right. Always binding at the rear, sticking up putting pressure on the hood. The hood and shaker would shake in unison.

 

Changed mine to a Torker and it looks and sits right now.

Yep, I saw his thread too. AWESOME car. I may end up doing something very similar. I don't necessarily care if the Shaker is functional. I just love the way it looks.

powershift,

 

fwiw, my shaker really isn't that functional either (air cleaner lid is really close to the midplate and there is no flapper).

 

do you know how tall of a filter element was used in the pic below?

What intake did you wind up going with?
