[Shotimes] Subframe bushings => Lower Front End?

[James White]

We were talking about insulated intake manifold gaskets a while back and it
seems as if the SHO intake is closer to the hood pad than you think.  Even
the 1/4" +/- that this insulated gasket uses causes the intake to rub on the
hood pad.  A little more causes the intake to rub on the hood bracing
itself. Your custom subframe bushings would have the same effect.

"double clutch"  it's good for both you and your SHO
