More importantly, has the price come down.

Are the first ten spoken for?

We have held off on it as the billet car sucked all the life out of us. Now that it is delivered, we can focus on other projects.

Just shoot an email or call QT and they will answer your question. I would buy one from one of the supporting sponsors and have them ship it to UT.

The QT bellhousing is far lighter and smaller in size. I would highly recommend it.

David,

Any plans on producing a cold air box for a 351W?

Thanks,

Can do...no problem.

How much room do you 351 guys have between the carb studs and the distributor?

Anyone want to volunteer to be a guinea pig? We'll draw it up tomorrow.

$50 off to the 1st guinea pig. That's $200 (already discounted) less $50 for $150. 1st guy with the measurement ONLY!

David

Default 351 W Guy

David.

I took a quick measurement on mine and I have 3.5 inches middle of front carb stud to back of distributor. This is a loose measurement which will leave a little finger room. I'm in for $150.

If it works (and I can't see why it wouldn't) then you are IN!

Congrats!

Which distributor do you have? Could you post a picture of your engine? I think you have the large two piece cap.

Thanks

I have almost the exact same set up that I am about to post a picture of. I have the stock (old style) distributor. So you have the big two piece cap?

This is a picture of the two piece cold air box on a 302 (with E-brock RPM air gap manifold) with an old style distributor cap. It clears just fine
