No the lower mounts would be bad. It would cause the scoop to sit to low in the hood.

Bruce just a word of caustion - be sure to check the clearance between the firewall and back of the S/C. Make sure you slide the S/C all the way forward before tightening the mounting bolts. I realize your running a Supershaker but this is why JDM offers the lowered Prothane mounts.

Ordered all my fuel lines and connections for the fuel rails. That will be the biggest hold up, hope it gets here by Friday.

Finally got around to getting that blasted Powersteering pulley off:

Put all the other pulley's back on:

Took the front bumper off, this will allow for the heat exchanger and the new headlights:

Installed the AFCO Heat Exchanger and pump:

Started the Supershaker Conversion:

Had to grind down the throttle body so it would fit:

Waiting for my brother to get home to help me lift the blower onto the car. Until then I finished up the instrument cluster.

Got the blower installed today. Moved some wires around, ran all the hoses, swapped out the pulley, ran the belt. Going to start the wire tuck tonight...

Installed the blower, Had to beat the hell out of the firewall to make it fit:

Wanted to test fit with the shroud:

With the hood closed the plastic trim ring doesn't fit right. I will have to trim that as well:

Started to unwrap all the wires. Cut through one so I went and soldered it back together before moving on:

My guess is yes. I talked with JimIII about it this afternoon and he said it wasn't something they hadn't ran into before...

Clearance without Shaker. Throttle body sits above the hood line about 1/2":

UPS CAME; I sold the other headers and found a Jet Hot Extreme Sterling coated set for $100 more.

How much room do I want to make? I want just the minimals under the hood. I think it looks better without the PCM. With the shaker installed I have a huge hole on the driver side so I want to relocate the other stuff to even it out.

UPS says tomorrow they will be in. However UPS seems to like to deliver at 5pm so probably either late tomorrow night or Saturday.
