No. I have the stock 105 lb hood but I'm going to buy a 25 lb fiberglass hood and will probably cut a hole and put a scoop on even if it doesn't need it for clearance.
Do you think it matters which one it flows thru first when I put them in series?
Me to! But I have got some progress going on. Most of the engine harness is done. I routed it under the intake... I've come up with a new answer to the question I get some times, not necessarily from people here - Why did I do it that way, not stock? answer- It wanted to be that way.. Ergo- The harness wanted to go under the intake. ha. And it did actually seem to fit and go on easy that way.. I've got to find some different connectors for the ballast resistor wires.
l see what your doing except there is more heat there than on top of the engine plus the heat from the oil splashing around. Are you maybe going to trailer it around a lot or maybe make a heat shield for the wires. that's why when you tore the engine down there was foil and fiberglass to help keep the intake cool Just asking but l do like the idea
I haven't torn this engine down., but yea I'm going to add some type of heat shielding. I don't plan to drive it alot, no long cruises anyway. Some other guys on here have done the wiring this way, that's where I got the idea. But they had more room for air/cooling with aftermarket intakes., which I'll have on my 512 that I hope to replace this motor with someday.
