Default 351W Clearance, will it be a problem?

With the added deck height, going EFI into a SN-95, will it fit with stock hood or am I going to need a new hood? Just trying to keep my budget in mind.

Yea my guess is that it wont, but just trying to see if I can resolve it now or if I have to wait and see once the engine is in and mostly assembled. If I knew for sure I needed a new hood now then I would order one when I get money during assembly, so I didnt have to wait on a hood to start driving it around.

I do not know from personal experience but I've heard that it will not work...

It will fit. You have to slot the motor mount holes in the K-member. This is what Saleen did on the S351. It also depends on what intake you run. Shoot me an e-mail at sshugart@hotmail.com with your copmbo and I can give you an idea of what is needed for the install.
