Dave's 88GT 2012 Build for the NMRA and Local Events

[slow95]

I had a 3" Harwood on there before and with the addition of the nitrous and bigger engine, i had to go up to a 4" hood, no way everything would have fit under the 3"

Im lost what kind of upper are you going with and why would the use of Nitrous force you to have a 4 inch hood? Going from a 306 to a 331 there is NO size difference.

Wow your gonna have a whole new car.Nice Job !

Because with the air cleaner on when im street driving there was maybe a hair between the top and the cowl, now with the addition of the 1/2" nitrous plate it will raise my air cleaner into the cowl, i had to go to a 4" to clear everything

The engine and transmission went in last night, now all we need to do is wire the msd and nitrous controls, install nitrous system, put interior back together and well, get the damn car running
