RE:Wait! One more thing

Hey thanks for the input guys. I am running a set of C6AR - R Heads. with a 61 - 63 Tri power set up. I had the Carbs rebuilt by the Daytona Parts Company, they did an awsome job. This car has been a 15 year project and have just got it fired up about two weeks ago. I am running the standard GT manifolds with the correct Gt exhaust system. It sounds awsome. I had a fair idea it would be a close fit, thats why i thought i might just ask the question would it fit with the original air set up.
I decided to lower the Hood on last night to see how close it would be. Unfortunatly the 61 - 63 cleaner is to long, so i borrowed a friend of mine's 68 Shelby GT500 air cleaner lid which is about 1 inch shorter that the 61 - 63 lid and bingo it fits. So i am going to remake the bottom air cleaner plate and reposition the three carb holes back about another half an inch to give me some extra clearance. But height is not a problem only the extra lenght of the original Air Cleaner.
And i'm with you under the Hood it looks awsome with Gold Thunderbird covers and Tri power, Its how Ford should of made them.
Again thanks for the imput.
This thread, so far...
