The air cleaner is the HiPo style. I didn't get a chance to test fit the hood, but I did torque down the engine and trans mounts (PITA). I've got some modeling clay on the way so I'll give that a try on the tank and the air cleaner once the drop base is in - thanks for the suggestion.

One thing to remember is that I have a 351w based engine so I am already working against an extra 1"+ of height out of the gate. You guys using 289/302's in your FIA or street cars will be in much better shape. Why oh why couldn't ol' grandpa had a 302 instead of going with the 351w option back in 1969...
