Engine fit for B&B

I have a KC 408 that I have in my Coupe and you can do two things fairly easily. One is replace the motor mounts with another set that Bryan has and if you do you may want to go with a different oil pan designed for road racing maybe a Canton that is only 6 1/2" in depth. The other is the simplist and cheapest and that is to go with a DROP BASE air cleaner if you are running a carb. On the FI stuff I really don't know but others have had the FI setup.

Thanks gents. I really appreciate the advise/knowledge. I'm low to the ground now so maybe the drop base air cleaner will work. Just don't want to change hoods.

Thanks again,
Mike

Clois,
Do you know which brand of drop base air cleaner will give the most hood clearance? I was planning on using a Victor Jr. intake on my 351W also.
