Need measurement - engine to hood

Need measurement - engine to hood - 05/01/19 04:02 PM

If anyone can provide this measurement it would be greatly appreciated:

68, 69 or 70 B-body Plymouth 440 engine
measure from the engine ID pad to roughly the top of the fender

I got a funny feeling this ain't gonna fit under an A12 style hood !!

What is that big spacer looking deal? I know it's just sitting there but check the weird gap, drivers side, bottom of that huge by extra large manifold.

That "big spacer" is the exact size of a carburetor, throttle body or efi unit.

Measurement to the top of the fender is not what you need. You need the measurement to the hood over the air cleaner...This isn't a great pic, but you can see that the fenders still rise at the front of the motor and the hood rises toward the middle. Yours still won't fit without a scoop, but it may fit with one...

From your picture of the manifold, I see a mis-angled gap at the bottom of the 1-3 intake runner at the head. Probably just the pic...It just doesn't look perfect like the passenger side does.

Well the intake isn't bolted down so it may be off a bit on one side. Also, the intake flange is not the same shape as the head flange so it might be contributing to the illusion.
