    Victor 5.0 intake... will it fit in a 66?

    I have a 66 coupe with a 5.0 that I converted to a carburetor to simplify getting the car on the road. It works great, but I want to go ahead and put the fuel injection equipment back on the engine to prepare for some upcoming upgrades.

    Does anyone know if a victor 5.0 intake will fit on a 289/302 with a stock hood? Also, will it interfere it the regular export brace? I would rather not purchase/engineer some sort of brace replacement.

    Thanks, 
    BobN

    I can't say for sure, but I seriously doubt it.  Think about how much the stock air cleaner base drops the air cleaner over the carb, and that's on a low rise dual plane intake.  It's pretty easy to figure it out though, just measure the intake height from the end seal location, then use some clay and a tape measure on the your car and see if it will hit the hood.
