i could but i can't have a high rise intake. not enough room under the hood and i want the car to look stock from 66

but i am kicking around the idea of stroking it. just tring to figure out my best option for what i want.

the rpm air gap isnt high rise...actually about .5" taller than performer and 250% better than performer

I fit a Victor Jr with a 1" spacer and a 750 Holley on top of a 351W under the stock hood of my 65 Mustang.
