Engine factory 383 stroker
I have been told by the Engine Factory people that their 383 stroker will clear the stock small block hood on my 1966 Coupe. Anybody verify this for me.

Me Too!
I asked about that clearence as well. I currently have a Holley street dominator and a 625 AFB, with the Tri-Flo air cleaner and it rubs.
They "told" me that the air cleaner, carb and manifold setup will work just fine?????????
I don't know...The tri-flow I have is pretty low, and the looks of that air cleaner on their 383/450 looks alot higher.
To change from the manifold they offer to a lower profile, they said I would loose 60 HP.

I built and run a 383 with Victor JR intake on my 60... I do not know what the differences are between C1 and C2 hood heigth? The airfilter I am running is one of the large after market chrome much taller than the stock 60 air filter and I clear with no issues.

Serpentine belt.

I was curious about the serpentine belt pulley they use on the 383 setup. I assumed the pulley was wider out in front of the balancer. My old V-belt pulley has only 3/8" clearence to the frame.
