RE: Tunnelport Questions??

I have a 67 Shelby hood with a 67 Shelby intake (2x4). The standard oval aircleaner fits just fine. The 3" K/N filter almost fits. The top of the cobra oval touches the hood, but it closes just fine. It would probably work, but it would rub the fiberglass, and ultimately wear a hole (or make it crack).

I want to machine the cobra oval to take 1/4" to 1/2" off. It's plenty thick, so I think that's reasonable. I've also considered cutting the hood to give me an extra 1/2". I need to have the hood modified anyway, because it's warped a little. I saw a 67 Shelby in a mag several years ago, (I still have the article), where they cut the hood scoop and reattached it 1/2" or so higher. Sounds like a fun project.

So the bottom line... If you have a stock hood, you won't be able to put a 3" oval cleaner on your car. You may have more luck with a stamped steel assembly, because they're not near as thick.

I don't know how the height compares between your engine and mine, but I bet they're similar. I could measure mine if you like.
This thread, so far...
