Ya apparently the 14" is normal for the V-8.
I beleive he siad it mounted to the top of the element using the excisting bolt?
Then the box mounts into a indentation in the underside of the hood. So going by
that I would think that maybe the bodylift would effect the seal??
He was sending me info on pricing with some pictures. But I beleive that someone
posted the prices from a previous group buy.
I didn't mention I was from the DML
The phone number is (219) 897-2597 if you would like to call them. Very nice man
to talk to.
