Monte Carlo Bar question

[JC-Fixie]

Hi

Does anyone know if the curved or straight monte Carlo bar would fit the stock 1966 mustang coupe with 6 cylinder with the stock air filter and oil filler cap? Air filter is the chrome round one that is approx 10" diameter.

Thanks

Jc

My understanding is that they pretty much straight across. So if you get a yard stick or some other straight piece of wood or metal you can just lay it in there and see if it clears.

I would think the engine is too long for the curve one to fit (if the straight doesn't), but that is just a guess.

Here is an install pic from CJ Pony that shows where the bar meets the inner fenders:

Found this on another forum. His profile didn't have any engine pics, so I'm not sure he really did it or not. It is from 2010, but I see he last posted on 5/24/12.

If you don't want to sign-up on that forum, I could PM him for you and find out more.
