Re: Aluminum vs. cast iron

[Dodger7998@xxxxxxx]

I had to go to drop base air cleaners on my max wedge, I could have gone  
with shorter aircleaners, but was concerned about the restriction, I am not sure  
if this is an option with the stock type air cleaners or not, I nave not  
compared them side by side, one could always do some cutting and install the  
center part in a stock setup, it would not show when installed on engine, but  
would drop the top at least a half inch.

I  have a Edelbrock Torker II which is a single plane manifold on my with 
a  similar air cleaner.  Same results - wing nut tore through the  
insulation pad.  Took off the insulation pad.

Hmmm - I'm about  to add a 1/4" Spacer to the motor mounts to get some 
cross link clearance  at the oil pan.  Better check the clearance before 
I close the  hood.
