    Default Ford bonnet Bulge on a VS.

    Hi,

    I am in the pocess of supercharging my vs 5L and i am not sure if i am going to be able to get it all to fit in under the bonnet.

    If i cant i am thinking of relieving the bonnet and placing one of them FG bonnet bulges you can get over the hole.
    While i dont really wanna use a ord part on my holden, i just cant afford to have a gaping hole in the bonnet screaming to the police " hey looky here me policeman".

    What are your thoughts, and does anyone have any other ideas on what i could do other than the ford bulge ??


    Cheers

    Dont call it a Ford bulge then, call it a '72-'74 plymouth roadrunner, gtx or satellite sebring bulge. Looks exactly the same and its not a ford part.

    I doubt you will have any issues with getting it to fit. There is a surprising amount of room under the bonnet.
