Some high rise intakes will not clear Corvette hoods.
A new hood will be ordered as well. One of the reasons why any engine swap always costs more than budget...

Wow! Watched the entire thing, the vid was that good! Great tunes and you do a great job of video on the roll. Telling you, I liked it! You guys had some very, very nice tasty choices in American Muscle and 'Vettes! Also, I liked how you casually, but expertly video'd the interiors and swept over the neat details!

Chevelle, awesome, Riv, awesome, Fuelies, excellent. Good, good, stuff.

Thanks for posting this!

New motor looks cool.

The AC will be going back in, I plan on next spring. I am going to get the full vintage air set-up when the time comes.
The factory system never worked and hadn't for a very long time. Need any AC parts? I got some for sale!
