Put a scoop bonnet on.

Would rather not

Have you seen the crossmember spacers? They basically shim the crossmember lower which brings engine down with it, and allows a little extra room between top of motor and bonnet framing

Bin the OTR and buy a Mace kit, it will work better and economy gains will have it paid for in a couple of years.

Oh, I thought he had done an entire L67 conversion.
Turns out not after re-reading it

Even with an SC the Mace kit performs better. There is a member running Mace and SC and he said decent gains over what he had.

Put some pictures up, sounds like you might have mounted it too far forward somehow or you might need to raise the bonnet rubber stoppers or something.

I undone the bonnet latch a bit and it shuts now but have a bit of a gap, I screwed it in where it ended up laying from the air box

Looks a tad high at back of it like it sits higher than airbox.

Something not right when supercharged snorkel fits under lower vn/p bonnet & vs statesmans they came from.
