Got it done. Not rocket science at all.
I ended up using 3M weatherstrip adhesive in about 7 spots around the pan and then installed it. No problems and it appears to seal against the hood very well. ![]() On to the lower pan. Here's a photo of my Edelbrock ProFlo-4. I had to use about a 1/2" spacer in order to get the lower pan to clear the throttle linkage. I was afraid that might make the pan set a little too high for the Ram Air setup but it is not the case. ![]() I glued the seal onto pan yesterday and gave it a try on the car. After shutting the hood, I used a flashlight and looked into the scoop openings. It appeared like the seal was fitting snugly around the front side but looked like I had a gap at the rear of nearly 1/2" or so. The angle of the engine makes the front part of the seal go up higher in relation to the hood than the rear part does. So I got some 1/2" foam strip and put it underneath the pan seal to raise it up using the weatherstrip adhesive. I think it looks OK and not that noticable. I'm more interested in the functionality of having good cold air induction vs looking perfect here. ![]() ![]() Now when I shut the hood and look into the scoops, it appears to fit snugly all the way around.
