I had to remove my FRPP STB to install the H.O Whipple, and i kinda miss it :S

now i'm wondering if there's any strut brace that would clear the whipple (the one from FRPP does, but it doesn't clear the air intake)

there is nothing currently that will clear the whipple or the KB. i wouldnt hold my breath waiting for one either unless you have something custom fabricated

I THINK FRPP is working on one last I heard, but I'd need to double check...

94tbird

that would be nice

if there is something that clears the blower, I doubt anything close to a stock hood will fit. THe blower and pulley just barely fit under the stock hood as it is!

I heard that BMR fabrication made a new cool strut tower brace... I saw it too.. looked nice but not sure if it clears the whipple..

G.T

i saw that STB.. and while i'm sure it would clear the whipple itself.. it will not clear the air intake :\
( heck my hood doesn't clear that either! )

i wish that BMR STB would fit.. it looks pretty good

che is making an adjsutable one now, but i dont beleive it will fit either. once again it would clear the blower housing itself, but not the intake

has anyone tryed the brace off the GT500, i know the throttle body is more or less in the same location and it is supercharged

G.T

you know that might just work, although if you look closely at the GT500 engine compartment, you'd notice how the intake port is sorta molded to fit under the brace

wont work. the GT500 brace does not clear the stock hood. it will put a dent in it

RedDragon777

i have heard the only thing ford does is put a little dent in the heat blanket but i do not know if the GT500 hood is taller than the stock hood

94tbird

the gt500 hood is taller than ours. not by much but it is

I know Agent 47 made a CUSTOM stb for a customer of his that had a whipple, I haven't heard anything afterwords or seen pics. love to hear what the update from them is...

find out and report back. if it isnt 500 bucks liek everything esle they sell id be in for it. id assume if it clears the whipple itll clear the kb with the stock hood.

Nothing available will clear the Kenne Bell with the stock hood....I mean nothing.

I've done some extensive measuring and we have little to no room between the KB and the hood insulation.

That's all that I'm going to say about that!
