Bit of a gamble with the fit though it clears by a mm (well i can close the bonnet).
Forgot about the VAT charge at customs though ! furious

Hi Mate..The only thing i would be slightly concerned about is that it sits over the engine and would probably be pulling in warm/hot air....I think i would of opted for a bonnet scoop to feed the original pan, Especially as it was going to be painted anyway..Looks mental..

It certainly sucks how they jump on you for not paying tax..Even when you buy it in a different country which makes no sense whatsoever...

The Holley hi-tek air cleaner is a new bit of kit that offers good rates of air induction and are meant for high manifolds..There is a possibilty that the lower half will draw in hot air from the manifolds and the top part will be near to touching the bonnet..In essence its good to have a good flow of air and at the right temperature...Cold air feed will help...Here is a little calculation to help give the correct air flow figures...Your cu.in is in the second link..Your max rpm is probably around 5000-6000..
