MrWesson22 Gearhead Posts: 1103 From: Dacula, GA Registered: Sep 2000	posted 11-22-2002 02:06 AM Would a shaker still shake if the engine is sitting on solid motor mounts? I'm asking the naive question here since I don't know if a good rumpity engine still shakes on solid mounts or if it just shakes the whole car instead. ------------------ Neal 69 Gulfstream Aqua Grande 351C/4sp https://mustangsandmore.com/ubb/MrWesson22.html IP: Logged

MrWesson22 Gearhead Posts: 1103 From: Dacula, GA Registered: Sep 2000	posted 11-23-2002 12:40 AM That's too bad. Back to plan A. I have another stupid question then. If I cut a hole in my hood and run a stock CJ scoop, how much clearance will I actually be gaining? Obviously this would be the thickness of that part of the hood plus the height of the scoop, but I don't know what kinda numbers we're talking about here. ------------------ Neal 69 Gulfstream Aqua Grande 351C/4sp https://mustangsandmore.com/ubb/MrWesson22.html IP: Logged

MrWesson22 Gearhead Posts: 1103 From: Dacula, GA Registered: Sep 2000	posted 11-23-2002 10:04 AM Boss 9 scoops are way too wide IMO. I like the narrower, cleaner look of the factory Mach 1 scoop. I'm running a torker intake with no spacer now, and I'm so close on hood clearance I can't even use a wingnut on my air cleaner (have to just use a normal nut). I'd like to go to a strip dominator with a 1" 4 hole spacer, but I don't know if the CJ scoop will give me enough clearance for it. ------------------ Neal 69 Gulfstream Aqua Grande 351C/4sp https://mustangsandmore.com/ubb/MrWesson22.html IP: Logged

That's why I sugggested the Boss 9 scoop. My current setup of a Strip Dominator, 1" spacer and a Predator carb barely clears the Boss '9 scoop. The predator is stupidly tall however. When I finally install the Parker intake and stuffers, and go back to a Holley, I expect to have at least 2" clearence. I think the strip Dominator is a little taller than the Torker BTW.Also A guy I know that raced a Cleveland circle track had problems with the block cracking if he ran two solid mounts. He ran a solid on one side (I forget which) and a rubber on the other. [This message has been edited by Mpcoluv (edited 11-23-2002).] IP: Logged

Do to the shape of the CJ you cant go with a large air cleaner,and I dont think you'll pick up alot in the height either. I'd say you will p/u about 1-1.5" at the back of the CJ scoop.

MrWesson22 Gearhead Posts: 1103 From: Dacula, GA Registered: Sep 2000	posted 11-23-2002 03:41 PM I'm running a ford motorsport 10" air cleaner, so it would fit in the CJ scoop (I believe). But if a shaker still shakes well even with solid mounts, that's the route I'll go. With a shaker, the cool factor just goes through the roof. ------------------ Neal 69 Gulfstream Aqua Grande 351C/4sp https://mustangsandmore.com/ubb/MrWesson22.html IP: Logged

A local guy had quite a time getting am aftermarket intake to work with a shaker. The factory ford intakes are very low, and the Torker and strip dominator are both taller. Im sure you will have some (1/2" ?)room to play with, but I would verify before I spent the fairly large $$$ for a shaker setup. IP: Logged

mustangboy Gearhead Posts: 520 From: Ont, Canada Registered: Mar 2002	posted 11-24-2002 01:32 PM Mpcoluv makes a good point.With the shaker you have to have a set height or its not gonna fit through the hood properly,which is fine if you've got the setup figured out and it fits.But if your gonna be playing with spacers and intakes I would go with the scoop.I have a Mach scoop on my 68 and it basically just gives you the height of the scoop extra clearance since there are no braces in the hood in this area.Its not a huge scoop but a couple of extra inches make a big difference.I run a weiand excellerator intake with a one inch spacer and still had to use a plastic spacer to get my 10 inch filter through the hood and into the fresh air.The Mach scoop is mounted far enough back on the hood that your into the thickest part of it (front half) so don't worry about how it flattens out at the back.I'll go out and take a measurement and see how much extra room you would gain ------------------ 1968 mustang j-code sprint.13.69@101 306cu.in, stock ported heads,weiand exellerator,650 holley DP,hedman hedders,comp 292 Magnum cam,4-speed,8 inch 4.11 detroit locker IP: Logged

mustangboy Gearhead Posts: 520 From: Ont, Canada Registered: Mar 2002	posted 11-24-2002 09:48 PM Did a rough measurement of the clearance that the mach1 scoop gives on my 68 stang.about 1 1/4 inches at the back and about 1 3/4 at the front.There would be slightly more right in the centre of the scoop.

MrWesson22 Gearhead Posts: 1103 From: Dacula, GA Registered: Sep 2000	posted 11-25-2002 12:31 AM I appreciate the measurements on the CJ scoop. That really gives me an idea of how I need to go with this. I don't think the strip dominator and a spacer are gonna fit under a shaker, as cool as it would be. ------------------ Neal 69 Gulfstream Aqua Grande 351C/4sp https://mustangsandmore.com/ubb/MrWesson22.html IP: Logged
