Hey mate, how'd you go with bonnet clearance with the big 3.3L? Did you end up using the Ford Scoop? Do you reckon the 2.9L Whipple would fit without a scoop? Which intake manifold did you end up using?
the 2.9 is a little bit smaller then the 3.3, in HxWxL but not by much.
You may find that you will need to use a scoop, supercharger should clear but its the drive gear you will have clearance issues with.
If your running low boost, your top pulley will be bigger then a high boost pulley so allow a bit extra room.
Yes the ford boss scoop will do the job nicely off our new gt's.
I have a Ported Richwoord manifold an a custom dual 70mm intake system with my 3.3ltr.
