Intake clearance

Putting in a 4.8 with the NV4500 using mounts and adapters from Nick. Does the truck intake fit with a standard (non puma) bonnet? Do I need to source a car intake?

A quick google shows images of truck intakes with Puma hoods. Car intake with normal hoods.

Not sure which mounts were used and if that made a difference. Have you used nicks mounts?

Truck intake fits with a standard bonnet if the manifold is flipped (intake inlet toward the bulkhead).

If it's an older plenum that has the plastic tabs them you'll need to do some fettling to get the hood closed & remove the front hood brace, as well as relocate the MAP sensor as it fouls too.

Hope that helps !

I've seen your pics Andy but hadn't realized you flipped the intake. I was hoping to avoid cutting the hood. Probably need to source a car intake.
