Which one will work without any problems of hitting the hood and the factory plenum cover? Will the one off the GT 500 work without touching??

 

I think the new V6 strut brace from Ford Racing will work. I haven't found out for shure yet because I'm still waiting for mine to come in.

 

I have the GT500 one and it just barely clears and also hides the damage from when the hood blanket was rubbing.

 

I have the BMR and have no problems with it rubbing the cover or the insulation.

 

I have one of these with my Roushcharger and it fits fine, although the web site shows out of stock. Don't know what that is about.

I have the Strange (standard I guess, they didn't offer the extended height when I bought mine). I've got the Midwest Auto Gear cover instead of the stock, but I don't know if there's much of a difference in height.

Mine has rubbed a couple of times on the passenger side of the cover, but it's hardly noticable. I don't have the hood blanket installed, so that isn't rubbing anywhere.

 

I have the Strange also, with the Ford plenum cover. There's about 1/4" of clearance over the cover. I think it rubs the hood mat just a little bit.

 

+1 on the BMR brace

 

Here is another tread on the same topic.

Thanks for all the input, you guys are great!! Robbie I love your plenum cover!!!

 

So does the GT500 rub the hood, is that what your saying?

 

I have the GT500 bar and it clears fine, I think he was saying that the insulator sagged a bit and rubbed the cover and the bar hides the marks... I think.. D

 

So you have a factory plenum cover?

 

Got a picture of your engine bay?

 

Herre is what I have right, hope it helps.

 

any of the ones that fit the 6 will easily clear the 8's plenum cover

 

Thanks, I'm going to get a GT500 one. BTW, I love your car. When I was waiting on my Torch Red GT to come in I almost bought a legend limer.

 

Glad I could help. It's not real fancey but it does the job and was made to fit over the Supercharger. It ws a hard choice to buy the Lime but it was the last GT in that color and now I'm glaad I did. Post up some pics when you get your brace!!

 

To throw in a new wrinkle, I got the Granatelli Street bar and it clear the plenum and the hood just fine. With any of these, I think it would be best if you did the little trick where you move the washer on the plenum cover to provide a little extra clearance!!
