Here's the side by side shots of the Magnuson MP 112 vs. the LS9 TVS 2300:

It looks like the LS9 SC is a good 3.25" - 3.5" shorter!

What hood do you have on your 91 now? I like it.

If someone can cram an eaton setup in a 4th gen this looks like it'll fit. I'd like to see someone attempt. This is definetly the first setup like this I've seen someone try to put together. Don't forget a detailed parts list when you're done for all of us .

No it wouldn't fit.

That's what generated the hood in the pics earlier in the thread. ^^^

I'm not 100% sure I'll change back to the stock hood even if it does fit.

I really like this one.

I'll have to decide what I want to do when the time comes.

It was originally some drag hood from VFN. It was real high and gawdy looking.

About $1000 later in labor and paint, it looks like it does now.

Yeah, the jackshaft style would sit lower. Here's some shots from a few years ago when we were determining what was needed.

Thats turning into a pretty cool setup, not that is wasn't before. And I vote to keep the hood if you have than much invested into it, looks sharp.

Would the difference in height be attributed to the intercooler configuration? It looks like the maggie is only that tall because of the intercooler it sits on...

that is going to be the new sweet setup! If that fit under the stock hood... you would have such a sleeper.

9's are in your sights!
