Default intake manilfold height

don't flame please

a friend of mine has a 3rd gen rx7 with a blown engine . he wants to put a 5.0 in their because it's cheaper than the lt/ls1s.

but theirs a problem the 5.0s intake manifold seems to be too tall for the hood. alot of 3rd gen. rx7 owner choose the ls1 over the 5.0 because of this. so my question is how can i make it fit, besides a aftermarket hood?(custom/aftermarket intake manifold anyone?)

the aftermarket intakes are even higher than the stock ones. you will need to mod the hood.

Who knows. There is gonna be alot of custom mods to get a 5.0 in there. whats a new hood is the least of your worries. Good Luck.<IMG src=smileys/smiley4.gif border="0"></P>
