Hi Guys If you dont know already (see my sig) im building a Diesel SEC, there "was" some debate as to whether the hood would fit with the 617 under the hood, well as you can see by the pics the debate is now over, the 617 does fit under the hood, If you press down hard on the hood you cause the hood pad to press onto the valve cover, but only when you press on the hood. This is with new engine mounts, so as they sag the clearance will increase even more.

Anyway, just wanted to share the info,
