Any pics of cut hoot for 3.4 install

[ditchsnake]

Do any of you 3.4 guys have any pics of how you cut your hood for 3.4 install? Thanks

I hope not!

Why? :shrug:

I thought you had to cut your hood for it to fit?

i thought it depended on the pulley size, if you use a smaller 3" it clears, any bigger and it has to be notched.

Ive seen it. Get a cowl hood

It my understanding that you can also change the motor mounts so that the blower an pulley sits low enough to clear the hood (without having to modify it)... :beer:

Actually you use spacers that lower the entire K-Member for clearance, not motor mounts. Close. :thumbsup:

 

[siLversLeigh]

won't lower k-member affect angle of driveshaft?

local guy used solid motor mounts and i believe it clears just fine.

I know there is a guy on here who had cut his hood....

Umm, I'm sorry but I wouldn't cut a whole in my hood. I would either change some stuff around so it would fit under the hood or get a different kind of hood. :bored:

I never said cut a HOLE, just cut.

What are you going to cut?

Brace

You cut part of the brace. I've got my hood off anyway to fill some holes before I have it painted.

 

[RedfireSVT]

you cut the brace, it's not that big of a deal. have the underside of the hood painted and you'll never look back. i don't know about lowering the motor with the spacers. i don't think any part of my car can go any lower. i'll look into that option when the time comes but i'll probably just do a little cutting and be done with it.

Pic

I still would like to see a pic before I cut. Hope there are some floating around.

Use spacers, if you keep a stock size lower crank pulley on it you are hooped regardless if you run a 3.80" or 4.0" upper pulley to stay pump gas and torco friendly.

Don't even touch the hood and use spacers.
