Problems with 4v swap


I swapped a 2v 98 engine for a cobra of the same year. I'm having problems getting some space between the bbk cold air intake and the body where the strut goes. What should I do?

take the CAI off. Either get some new piping designed for a cobra, or custom make your own out of pvc pipe.

skip the PVC and go buy drier vent tubing and flanges and various fittings at menards of home depot along with some zip ties. Ill even carbon fiber wrap it for you for the right price.
