Is there enough hood and firewall clearance to fit a SBC 68 corvette?

I doubt it your vette was designed for a points dist. It will probably hit the firewall .You can find these distributors around that use a external coil for a better fit. I have used both and they both have functioned well.

I believe 68 vettes were point style ingntion. Not the cheapest path. But you wanna make that thing run fill it MSD stuff

This shaft is the same size as the factory OEM HEI shafts, if you already have an HEI in it it will be the same if you have a points style shaft make sure you have additional room to accomadate this or any HEI shaft.

The hood comes in two pieces the first main one is 16 inches the second on that fits inside and slides up to make up the second stage is also 16 inches but figure you lose up to an inch since you should keep that much at the point that the two are joined together. Yes the exhaust tubing is plastic but I used it since I was dumping the exhaust right from the until to the ouside and a metal smoke elbow would not be enough to make it through the wall and to try to make up the difference with metal would have been more work then needed. If your going to discharge the exhaust higher up (more then a foot) then use the metal smoke pipe it cuts down on the loss of CFM since it us smooth inside where as the plastic is ribbed for flexing. By the way I also used a Broan 641 wall cap it works real good with this installation and has not only a backdraft damper but a bird and bug screen.

i think so. C6 grandsports have the same roof gap as standard C6 corvettes. you should be able to pop it in with no issues. The good thing here is if it does not fit you can send it back for full refund . I think you will be OK .

Actually no. I had to cut out my firewall to make it fit. I'll send you some pics this weekend.

Yes.....the question should be how much clearance will you have? I have a 2014 Corvette and back Ito every parking spot. You will loose approximately an inch and a half to two inches of clearance and you must drill holes into your car. Good luck. I hope this helped.

measure the exterior of the black area...that should be ok...and make sure you have enough room for terminals to pass....

Something like this would probably work 120" x 60" Black Carbon Fiber Vinyl Wrap 3DI-CAL but measure your hood first.

Yes, but it would be pushing the max. And you have to consider sound barrier. This was purchased to fit a Corvette so, it's sounds louder because of the condensed space. You really need to speak with a technician regarding possible installation.

No clearance issues at all. The bar comes pre-dimpled on the underside to clear the raised areas of the intake manifold.

the fit tolerance is very tight. I had a fairly thin protective cover, and I had to remove it to in order to mount it.

I actually traded my 2010 Heat for a 2011 Detonator. It leaves about a 3 inch space between it and the back seats and I wondered about that since the cover I had in my Caliber left no gap. But no one can see what's under it when looking through the back window.

Usually there is enough room between the hood and fender for the cable. Then find a hole through the firewall where some other cable, etc. comes through. It will have some sort of rubber plug or boot. Cut a slit in the rubber and feed the cable through. Be sure to secure the cable in as many places as you can with nylon ties. Good luck. TW

Not sure about your application but i had to modify the headlamp buckets on the 68 Beetle i put these on! The clearance for the LED lamps was the issue! So far i love these!!!!!!!!!

What my son found was this particular radiator was too thick. The clearance between it and the fan was less than a 1/8 of an inch. We had to send it back because of this.

Hello,The V8 GTS height should not be a problem with that case. However, please take care in picking your motherboard and RAM when it comes to clearance. Some RAM and motherboard heatsinks may pose problems if not researched carefully. I hope this helps.

Not sure exactly but I can tell you that its not a good idea to put it onto a metal heat shield thats for or close to an exhaust manifold. Ask me how I know haha.

I don't think it would make a difference. I installed a Noctua 40mm fan in place of the stock (35mm) one that came with the Armor. I just wanted to use the MB backplate and not the plastic MB cover but found that you have to use the plastic cover to mount the metal backplate as the two sandwich the MB. The screws go from the backplate thru holes in the MB and screw into the plastic cover. Link to my build. http://pcpartpicker.com/b/GtB
