Guest thinkmonkey Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 Has any measured their clearance with the standard JTR configuration from the BASE (Valley Pan) of their manifold to the hood? I'm curious if the Vortech Universal Carburetor Enclosure would fit with various intake manifolds. Thanks. -David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted June 6, 2003 Share Posted June 6, 2003 I have the same problem of hood clearance with the JTR kit. I have a Chevy Vortec 355 with an RPM Air Gap Manifold and a Speed Demon 750 cfm carb. My set-up stands about 12 inches above the hood and thats in the set-back position. Good luck to your car and it does suck that nobody has posted a reply since me. Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 I was concerned about this as well so I made my own mounts. I have a edelbrock torker manifold and a 750 DP and the air cleaner is a ramflow. I have about 1/8th of an inch clearance and the engine is set back closer than jtr because Im running a narrower twin point dizzy not HEI. Hope this helps.

Adam 12 full inches above the frikken hood in the JTR setup?!?!? How the heck is that possible? Am I losing it here? What don't I understand? Granted the Air Gap manifold is roughly a mid rise intake, but a complete foot above the hood sounds more like a tunnel rammed smallblock with velocity stacks... Got pics?

GAZRNR Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 I set my 350/ t56 in the jtr set back position yesterday. I using an Edelbrock RPM Airgap and Edelbrock Performer carb with their small triangular foam aircleaner. The hood is not on but it looks like id is 3/4 to 1 inch taller than the hood clearance. before I look for options I am putting the hood back on for a confirmation.

Graeme Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 mine was the same before I put my hood on and when it went on I had about 1/8 th of an inch clearance. I couldnt believe the hood fitted ok, the engine looked way too high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
