As the title say:

what is the hood clearance with the Defined Auto 20B-kit

Franke

 

It requires modification of the Lower Intake Manifold in order to clear the hood. They offer to modify the LIM for $450 as it involved removing a section of the LIM, welding it back together and replacing the injector bungs.

Everything else fits just fine and all other modified parts are included in the Deluxe Kit.

 

I feel like deleting half of these threads - you guys need to use the flippin' search function.
Come on Franke! ;-)

 

I Need the distance from the Engineblock to the hood. I will not be using stock mannifold

 

well dude ...let me help you a little seeing that you're not going to search for it.

what is the distance from the steering rack to the hood?
what is the distance from the rear-section of the subframe to the hood?
since you paid attention to kit, you know it sits atop a modified steering rack and you also know the contact point on the 20B oil pan which comes into contact with the steering rack.

and since you know the height of the typical 13B iron & housing - you can probably figure it out on your own.

since you wont.. the answer is "42"; :-)

 

Hey Franke, I do not know the measurement off the top of my head, but doing it the way hwnd has mentioned would work great. Just measure from the rack to the hood, and subtract the engine block height. There is roughly 1/4" clearance from bottom of the engine to the steering rack.
