I took some measurements and it's tight but I think it will clear with the right aircleaner element combination.. To the very top of the air pipes on my carb I have 22.5", using a thin gasket and no spacer. from the bottom side of the body mounting area (With no mounting pad) to the underside of the hood in the scoop I get 25"... So I have 2.5" to spare. I suspect a cobra filter will not clear with out some modifaction due to it's length...

Thanks
Did you use the short or tall motor mounts? Might have to give up on some oil pan clearence. I am thinking I should have bought the short.

Good question, actually I don't know unless someone can tell me what the differnce in height is. I'm running Prothane mounts I got through Summit.

I can tell you with my moroso pan it's barely below the frame. The bell housing is lower. I'll try and take some picture and try and get them posted tonight..

Ok I measured my motor mounts at 3" vertical height. There a photo of it in my gallary. Is that a high or low mount?

This is a tall 351 mount the bottom of the caliper is in the top of the hole 3 1/4". Not sure what the short is. Looks shorter on the mustangunlimited web site.
