Probably NOT!!!

By Will - 11/16/2000 3:29:05 PM; IP 24.26.244.78

Okay, so I just measured mine (and remembered the measurement this time!)

From the top of the air cleaner to the base of the block. That's the part of the block just under the intake and gasket, it is 11".

From the top of the air cleaner to the top of the hood, it is somewhere around 1".

So... unless the 68 shelby hood is taller than the 67 shelby hood, I think you're going to have a problem - about an inch of it.

You might try the stellings & hellings air cleaners. They're a bit shorter and look really trick on an FE. Unfortunately, they're expensive.

Sorry - I guess you'll just have to send that engine to me. :-)

This thread, so far...
