Have you missed the entire thread???

Nothing fits "on top" the engine for several reasons. Clearance, engine mount, & P/S pump for starters.



I missed where it was an insurmountable brick wall and not just a nuissance to be redesigned.

Clearance - Not being a CSVT owner, I cannot really vouch in that area as far as hoods go, but I have Sunday off and the dimensions of the M90, what the hell I might take some measurements of my own, distance from intake ports to top of valve covers, distance from intake ports to the highest point of where the plastic UIM resides.

Engine mount - Knowing how much Ford likes the parts bin recycling method, I am pretty sure we have the same mount that your talking about. Redesign it. What purpose does it have being that tall? From my memory it bolts on underneath the lower intake manifold, why the need to make it to the highest point in the height of the cylinder heads?

P/S pump - Now you lost me there. For me, the P/S pump is directly above the A/C compressor which is on outer half of the front cylinder bank, nowhere near the center of the engine. Everything else out of the way, there is an idler pulley just above the crankshaft pulley and little to the rear if memory serves. Run the belt up off the P/S pump, over the mount, onto the supercharger, down and UNDERNEATH the idler pulley and around the alternator (Tensioner, crank, A/C..)
