Think shimming the hinges will fix it ?

 

[whyask]

hmmm lets hope.... how bad is the flex..??

 

[GrnBullitt08]

Caleb... What is the hood hitting on that it won't close?

 

[stang389]

i bet its the manifold jw could it possibly be the hood struts were installed wrong? just wondering?

 

[stang389]

possibly the strut tower brace is getting in the way?

 

[GrnBullitt08]

I think he said the strut tower brace didnt fit since the manifold was installed....and I have no hood clearences issues with my manifold and I have the strut tower brace on too....so I dont think its the manifold.....

Unless the motor mounts raised the motor...

 

[Blxcklist]

Just slam the hood down and wherever a dent appears is where its having problems.

Just sayin ;p

I'll check the hood struts
I will remove the gas strut and try to shut it


Yes no STB
I think the motor mounts raised the motor
STB won't fit this Son'ma bitch

[whyask]

Grn.. do you Have Motor Mounts on yours ....???

 

[stang389]

if you look at his engine to yours it looks like the mounts raised the engine. it looks like yours is below the strut towers is looks even or about the strut towers might be the mounts are you issues..

 

[GrnBullitt08]

Grn.. do you Have Motor Mounts on yours ....???

Nope...just running the stock ones.

 

[stang389]

also look at the pass side canton coolant looks a little raised up might also be the problem but im pretty sure its the motor mounts

 

[GrnBullitt08]

yeah the motor mounts definitely raised the motor up which is most likey his problem....a cowl hood would have be more suitable for his situation.

 

[stang389]

that or go back to the stock motor mounts?
