    Wondering how much hood clearance a factory 63 riv has from filter to hood, unfortunately i've already pulled my engine so I cant measure myself, wondering if I have any room for a nitrous plate or if I am pretty well maxed out as is. Car is a 401 factory square bore single carb.

    Thank you,
    Ryan

    Ryan, here in the Netherlands a lot of American cars are converted to drive on LPG (liquid propane).
    I know about a few first generation Rivieras with the LPG mixer mounted directly on top of the original carburettor.
    So a much smaller nitrous plate will fit without a problem :TU:

    Great news! Thank you for the info, looks like the riviera will have a little more power after all.
