More visible progress! Hood is on but won't close. Snorkels will have to come off the air cleaner housing to clear the A/C compressor and a hood brace. No real issue since the scoop will be open all the time. Pypes exhaust system tucked up under the car nicely and the body is just about down to the correct ride height. The shop says one more month to go.

Is it a Firebird drop base air cleaner ?
Or the standard GTO / Gprix air cleaner ?

The drop base bird units have a big dimple hump at the rear to clear the distributor .
If you don't see that feature , its a GTO type.
Hood won't shut using those.

Car and interior look Great
Engine build is definitely impressive

Truly beautiful. Thanks for sharing the photos and an impressive 350.

It is the correct drop base with the dimple in the back. They also found the electric choke conversion was interfering with the fit so they'll add a bump for that. It was a little surprising that the A/C compressor that came with the CVF serpentine kit was hitting. The distributer dimple though eliminated the ability to rotate the pan to clear the compressor. At least the Torker-I intake was not the culprit.
