Hi Chicagowil,
This is a 302 with 94-95 GT 40 option upper & lower intake with a 3/8 spacer. 65 MM throttle body with the bend. The clearance is close with hood. Couldn't use a thicker spacer. Pan clearance is ok. Using a Canton street double hump with a rear sump. Nick

The lower intake manifold has been extrude honed and I have TFS Twisted wedge heads with a stage II porting.
But I already have an issue with the original EFI on the 90 5.0 HO. The motor is sitting tilted left to right. I assume there is a problem with the motor mounts not correctly installed.
I have seen the string on the motor mount issues with the CR2s. I assume my CR1 has the earlier horizontal mount plate.
The CR1 is a early 90 kit. I did measure the mount plates on the frame (as best as I could with the motor in place). They look level. But the left side of the motor is about 2" higher than the right side. This causes a interference issue with the EFI intake and the hood already. The Kenne Bell is about 1" taller and the driving shaft is extending forward of course.
I have found no photos of CR1s with EFI. Anyone else have clearance issues with the 5.0 EFI?
