Looks like this won't clear the hood as the runners are quite tall. Nice plenum shape though.

That air inlet curvature looks pretty nice - be interesting to see some individual runner flow numbers.

Beautiful engine!

It seems you installed the engine from the top with the hood still in place? I have recently made a cornerweight and wheel alignment and if it is possible to remove out top that is tempting for me so I don not have to ruin my setup.

Please advise as to what is needed to remove/install from the top.

Kind regards
Peder

Devon, with all the money you are spending it may be time for a new coolant reservoir!

May be the angle the engine is on the stand that is throwing off perception. I don't think there will be an issue with clearing the hood. Maybe a strut bar though..

It's very easy with the headlight-bar removed. Even more clearance if you remove the crank-pulley and radiator. It's easier with a balancer to allow you to angle the engine and change that angle as it's lowered. Although in this case, it appears he keeps it flat the whole time. I find it's simpler and faster to do a clutch-change by removing the engine rather than disassembling the drivetrain from the back forwards. Repair-book rate calls for 16-hrs on a 951, I can do it in 7-8 hrs without rushing. I found a post where Kevin Gross removed a 951 engine in 1,5-hrs.
