Kelly not sure if you said but was there a build this intake was made for? it would suite a hotrod/ratrod so well.
No specific build for this one. I made it as low profile as I thought I could without dorking up the performance but with the deck height of an FE, and the positioning required to align a 351c intake properly on your adapter, it is pretty tall.......likely too tall for OE hood height of most street cars, so would require a scoop. Of course as you mention, moot point for an open engine compartment car.
Though my SPF GT40 MkII should have one, I don't own an FE car at the moment. It will be for sale in the near future. I'm onto with my next project.
Best,
Kelly
