Default will it fit ?

Do you think a Spectre Performance 771 would fit in a 1976 ?

I have never seen one on a Corvette...so I could not tell you if it can or not. But what I do know about Corvettes is that it will depend on how far forward you plan on going to get fresh cold air..and what will be required to do that. Hopefully you have an engine that NEEDS this...and if this is being used for an increase in performance...hopefully you have already dyno tested your engine with the current set-up so you can see if this item will actually do any good.....unless it is just for looks.

I had one on my 6t8 for a while, it's under the work bench right now. Needed to change to a single inlet. T

Wanted to see if I could get more hood clearance so I could go to a different intake . But from the picture it looks like it might cause other problems . Thing looks huge .

Was looking more they have a 765 that's only 2 inch high . Looks like it might work and gives me a lot of options on a intake . Hate to order one and can't make it fit . Around $300 for it with filters . A lot cheaper then a new hood .

Just remember if you are running a Holley or similar carb there is a minimum clearance required above the bowl vents, 3/8", and typically any air filter below 3 inches can be restrictive.

The one pictured is the 2". You need a lot of wide under hood clearance for these to work. I don't think it would fit under any stock hood. Would be nice if they made them with 3" inlets. The 4" does look huge, but had nothings but complements on the system. Took me 18 months to custom build a hood scoop. T
