It might look good with the hood closed, but outright retarded with the hood open. The air cleaner would need to be a foot or more above the carb just to reach the hood.

Have you seen what they bring on Ebay ? I'd sell it before doing that to it.

the extra foot gives you more of a reason to put a 6 71 weiland supercharger on there!

Now what's cool are these old trucks, and even the 50s Ford Trucks that look like a normal, nice street truck and then open the hood and there is a SUPERCHARGER!

I like the clean, sleeper look myself.

Just having a little fun, nothing personal. A 6-71 is great for small blocks, but ya gatta spin the bejeezus outta them when you have cubes. I'm running an 8-71 18% over to feed my 545 SVO blocked 14lbs. of boost. I want more, but really need a 10 or 12. But I have the same problem as most $$$$ .
