waketek516 10 Report post Posted December 16, 2013 Anyone know if you can get the hood scoop from the motor to fit though the stock '69/70 hood. Here's a photo I found of someone who did my swap: This guy also did it, but fabbed up some stupid (IMHO) metal work around the scoop. http://www.legendarycollectorcars.com/2010/12/1969-mustang-mach-1-custom-by-larry-payne/ I'm hoping I can get it to work without having to do that, and wondering if anyone knows...:punk: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
69NC 21 Report post Posted December 17, 2013 The X-Ray photo show a standard hood scoop, not a shaker scoop. If you look close you can see the blinker notches at the rear of the hood. You can also see the top of the intake. I looked at Larry's car, in the other link you provided, and the Mach 1 motor with the shaker is much taller than the 4.6l engine. Ford even had to put a rise in the hood of the 04 Mach 1 verses the GT. You can see the rise in the photo below. You may want to get one the cowl hoods to give you enough clearance. here is an example. I have seen them with any where from 2" to 5" of additional clearance. http://www.mustangsunlimited.com/itemdy01.asp?T1=M108+01&Category=Body&subCategory=Hoods&SubSubCategory=Fiberglass%2FComposite&CatKey=EMUSTANG Sounds like great project. You'll have to post photos as you build it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stangs-R-me 120 Report post Posted December 17, 2013 I think if that "Larry" could have made the motor sit down low enough where he could have used the stock '69 hood he would have done so. I agree in that I don't really care for the exact way he modded the '69 hood to fit the '04 4.6 DOHC & Shaker. Maybe a more gradual buldge would look better, but what ever you do it appears that you need to get to his final elevation point to be able to close the hood !! Doug his hood mod is not the best looking It is pretty obvious from his pictures that the custom bubble he built Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Powershift 19 Report post Posted December 18, 2013 It's been done. But, the engine sits too high, and a modified hood had to be used. http://www.mustangandfords.com/featuredvehicles/1964_1973_mustang/mufp_0806_mach_1_mustang/photo_01.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mustangstofear 608 Report post Posted December 18, 2013 The top picture is a customer of ours, I recognized our radiator. Do away with the shaker and your good to go. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
69ISH 10 Report post Posted December 18, 2013 You could use a bulge like we have here on our XR8 and GT Falcons, Here is a photo of my XR8 Ute and my Eliminator showing the bulge Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
