[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16641286, member: 70025"] HOLY S#!T!!!! You guys are not going to believe this. The Kindig Rep got back to me. SWEET! This is what he said: [i][color=#ff0000][b]Ok, so I did some asking and there is a possibility of having this made for you. [/b] [b][/b] [b]To start off, this unit is pretty tall and there will need to be some modifications made.[/b] [b][/b] [b]It is 5.015" tall above the throttle body. I have included a pic with a really rough measurement mainly to show where to measure from.[/b] [b][/b] [b]Basically hood clearance may be an issue. The filter itself is 3" tall.[/b] [b][/b] [b]I will get back with you when we figure out the cost / time to do it / etc.[/b] [b][/b] [b][/b] [b]Thanks for being patient I will get back with you.[/b] [b][/b] [b]FYI; I am not trying to talk you out of anything just want you to be aware of the size in case its too big for your needs.[/b][/color][/i] This is a photo I sent him and he sent it back letting me know where to measure from and how tall it would be. [ATTACH=full]1711730[/ATTACH] Once I heard back from the Kindig Rep, you know I had to go in the garage immediately LMAO. So, I put a paint stick in my throttle body and cut it at the 5 inch mark. [ATTACH=full]1711731[/ATTACH] Here is the view from the side. When I seen this I was seriously doubting it would fit. I think when the Kindig Rep said it was 5 inches on a 65 Mustang I think he was thinking it wouldn't fit as well LOL. [ATTACH=full]1711732[/ATTACH] I had my wife help me put the hood on the car. It's fiberglass and not that heavy. The gap you see is where the fender raises up to meet the hood. So, the gap is supposed to be there. [ATTACH=full]1711733[/ATTACH] I had to pull the radiator back out to get a good look. Holy Crap! It clears, with room to spare LOL. [ATTACH=full]1711734[/ATTACH] Here is a close up. You can see I still have about 1.5 inches of clearance above where the top of the air filter cover would be. [ATTACH=full]1711735[/ATTACH] I sent these pictures of my measuring process back to the Kindig Rep and this is his response: [i][color=#ff0000][b]Well look at that! Guess it's a good thing you had that hood. I didn't think it would fit under a stock hood and was trying to picture how to make it look good through the hood on a stock style hood.[/b] [b][/b] [b]Well I will keep going on the project and keep you posted as I get the information.[/b][/color][/i] I said it before and I'll say it again: THINGS JUST KEEP FALLING INTO PLACE FOR ME ON THIS BUILD :D....
