SPECIAL TECH NOTE : If you are also installing or plan to install our custom hood
panel insert you will need to perform some clearance modifications to the engine shroud
mounting bracket. First you will need to remove the engine shroud.
1. Unplug the mass air flow harness just to the right and underneath the shroud.
2. Loosen the main air tube clamp.
3. Unclamp the small vacuum tube to the left of the main air tube and pull the tube loose.
4. Detach the intake tube from the left inner fender wall.
5. The shroud is mounted via three push on retainers. Simply pull up on the entire unit
and lift it out of the engine bay.
6. Remove the two bolts securing the front left mounting bracket and remove. NOTE:
This bracket will not be reused.
7. You will notice the mounting bracket attached to the back of the engine. Remove this
bracket and place on a table. Place a mark on the bracket 1/2'' up from the two holes
center to center. Drill two 3/8'' holes at you marks. This will enable you to lower this
bracket by 1/2''. Once this step is complete, simply reattach the bracket and reinstall the
entire engine shroud assembly.
