hood clearance w/granny ls1 in my fc

i am noticing in the mock up stages of my swap that the tb seems to be sticking out just enough for it to bump the hood if i had it on. is the motor supposed to sit that high?

I've done two LS1FCs with Granny's mounts that are complete currently, both clear the hood.

gosh your swap looks pretty! yeah i guess from the photos from your car the tb looks about the same as where mine is. i was just looking at mine from a profile view close to the pass. side front fender and the angle makes it look like it would hit the hood.

My car has the engine in the front mounting holes (I have OLD Granny's mounts), and it still cleared the hood without my nitrous ring; with the ring it just bumps.

noah-

Thanks for the compliments. It's even cleaner now, with the custom coil pack mounting and plug wires; I'll update my site one of these days, been too busy gathering stuff for my 408 build.
