1970 Green Machine Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Hello all. I know I don't post on here much, but 90% of everything I've learned while having my 1970 Monte I have learned it from reading your guy's posts and topics; so I'm very grateful for you all. I'm a parts guy and I love learning about different car parts and engine components. After doing months of research, I have chosen to, someday years from now, install a 502 bbc gm crate motor in my monte. My 454 currently in the car has been great to me and I have no complaints. However, the intake I want for the 502 is the Ram Jet fuel injection intake. I know the intake stands almost 12 inches tall, so my question is this: Will I be able to keep and run the stock hood? Or will I have to get an aftermarket one with a cowl induction? I'd prefer to keep the flat style hood, but if I had to change it I wouldn't mind a little cowl induction. Any thoughts or ideas? Anybody know anybody who has a 502 Ram Jet engine in a first generation Monte Carlo? Thanks for any thoughts, comments or ideas! You guys are the best!

monte70car Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 KG I think you will need a cowl induction hood do to the height of the intake. If you take a 4' level (should be long enough) lay it on the fender and measure down to your current intake. It might be close once you add the under hood braces.
