I need to know what valve covers will clear the svo roller rockers and not force me to space the upper intake. ANY help will be great!! Thanks. Rick.

 

OK.. You got me there. No idea.

 

any reason not to use a phenolic spacer?

 

I can't, the engine is mounted in a 88 Mazda RX-7 and I have a carbon fiber hood that I really don't want to cut up . I have already spaced the subframe down just to get the intake to clear. I had to use this type of intake because the earlier Fox style is just too tall. The engine is actually from a 92 T-bird but I figured the intake design is pretty much the same as the later model Mustang soooo....I hope there isn't any V-8 swap haters here , I know people sometimes get pissed off by stuff like this, but it really is what I like. I will try to get a pic or 2 loaded up. Thanks. Rick.

 

Unfortunately i cant answer your question, but im sure someone will jump in before too long. And you shouldnt have any trouble here from haters, looks like a cool project.

 

Nice project! Well done on getting that pulled off. Something I wouldnt attempt. Hope someone helps get you some answers.
Guess thats what you call a 'sleeper'.

 

Thanks ScottyBoy302, you never know what your going to run into when you post on a forum that doesn't specialize in hybrids, I'm just trying to get some info not start a flame war but that doesn't matter to some folks!! It's REAL common to get burned on the RX-7 forums if you change the drivetrain to anything other than rotary . They won't help with anything when that stuff starts . Rick.

 

yeah there are a lot of rotary purists. but its all cool here. Awesome car.

 

Thanks Guys!!!!!!
