Does any one have a 3.4 whipple crusher under their stock hood? Just wondering if it fits.

I believe the 2.9L is the biggest you can go with a stock hood.  Owners with a 3.4L usually end up with a Class Glass hood or other modified hood.  One example:

the cobra swap Eaton pulley hits under hood insulation, so, no.

Thanks for the info. I order the power bulge and it will be 4 weeks before it's done. So I wont pull the kenne bell off until the hood is here then put the 3.4 crusher on it.

your hood will 99% need to be repaired and better finish quality..Just passing it along..have not heard of one person that got it "ready to paint"

Is Jerry even making the Eaton swap brackets anymore? Someone told me he quit.

crusher will be nice, must sound sick with such cam.
do you have a killer chiller? YES is the only answer ;)

I have run and tuned progressive meth kit and a chiller. I found he chiller to be more repeatable and consistent with IAT, and it never needed filling the tank.
It was way easier in he long wrong, for me. Great build man.

Might want to keep the 3.55's.  4.10's will be hard to get traction. jmo

I have had the 4.10 in for years. I might change them if there's a problem. I like the killer but the meth kit was new and a killer deal same thing with crusher.

That is true with closer to stock power levels.
last blower car with 600+ rwhp I had with 3.73 and 3500 stall, I went to a 2.95 gear (because it was a 3 speed TH400 w/no overdrive) - no gear change will give you traction without full adjustable race suspension and slicks. Drag radials just fry.
In fact, it burned rubber for extended length with the lower numerical gears.
It was, however, more pleasant on the street highways. No need for high gears to get going with such power. I geared it for drive-ability.

I hear you. That was why I ran progressive meth kit from Julio in Fl. - I got a smoking deal for a set up in my exact car. Windshield washer tank, low level warning, boost referenced nozzle psi - the right way to spray.
