Dave,

I should add that the installation did result in the rear of the engine being lower than the stock location. This meant I had to install wedges (I think 2 degrees) between
the leaf springs and the perches to bring the drivetrain geometry back to where it needs to be, and also if using a stock intake or Edelbrock Performer intake, the shaker will sit low in the hood (especially in the rear). I had a special wedge-shaped carb spacer built to correct this. I later switched to a Performer RPM and did not need the spacer. With this set up the scoop was at the correct height in the rear but just a little too high in the front as the front lip of the scoop eventually broke off. This is covered by the boot and is completely un-noticeable with hood up or down. No problems ever since.

David
