Ram Jet 350 PFI GM Performance Parts Crate Engine Assembly
Thinking about puting this motor in a 80 c3.
Anyone out there using this?
Any problems?
Stock hood clearance?
Thanks

If thats the motor with the EFI I might be a little worried about hood clearance.

It will not clear the stock hood.

I am not sure of the difference between 80 and 78, but there is a 78 L82 Pace car in town here in StL. who has installed the RamJet 350 under its stock L82 hood. Ummmm you may be correct Fat Cat, Now that I take a closer look at the hood, It may not be original?????

The center of that hood looks to have a slightly taller profile than the SA hood next to it. Is that hood raised a little or is it just the photo?

Looks the same as mine...here is a different angle..

Bullshark

Yours looks pretty close to the same Rich. All I know is I asked the owner if it fit under the stock hood and he said yes. But, he's a local cop, so how much can you trust what they say........

No doubt in your comments. I think the photo angle was giving it a different appearance that maybe wasn't mentioned.

I put a Ramjet in my '69

LOVE IT!

The stock small block hood wouldn't clear though so i put an L88 hood on it

Look at the hood....

Yes. But, where are the 'headlights'???

I think she has a vacum issue

my buddy has one in his 78 pace car and it has the stock hood.

They're hidden...as with all fine rides

Headlights worth having are hard to hide.

The 78 looks stock to me. Those hoods are probably the tallest small block hoods on a C3.

Here is another old thread with some pics I took of how high the RJ350 sits....
