What elbow for a victor jr intake fits under the stock hood?

[KevinB]

Intakeelbows.com has one that swoops low. Looks like this one will fit. Who has this intake and what elbow are you using?
Thanks!

That's the one that I ran on my Limited with the 6.0L and it fit fine. Aaron did a fine job on the elbow. The welds looked great!

What throttle body did you go with?

It was a FAST 90mm. Here's a link to my build thread.

im running one from aaron as well but i dont think it would clear the stock hood as i have a straight 90 degree elbow.

My engine sat as low as I could get it without the oil pan touching the crossmember. I did have to cut the bracing under the hood as well.
I also inverted the throttle body.

What motor mounts? I'm thinking of the brp ones that appear to sit the engine a little higher.
I just read your thread. Saw it was stolen.. sorry to hear that

Thanks for the kind words. I built my own mounts to position the engine where I wanted it. It probably sits a little lower than most of the aftermarket mounts.
Thanks.

Jcuadra any idea if those headers were fabbed or bought and them modified? If they were bought know the brand?

I purchased the headers from BLOWN1 a few months back. He told me they were fabbed up. Overall they fit pretty well but there are a few clearance issues that need to be addressed

 

[driven87]

i almost bought those headers off blown1 back in the day. only problem i have been reading is that elbow holds back a little horespower.

 

[jcuadra]

hey driven what did you use to move your coils up so the plug wires wouldnt touch the headers? i noticed yours were higher than stock

Why are you guys using the elderbrock jr intake versus the stock style? Performace, fit or funtion? i will be embarking onthis journey soon.
