ITHERTZ66 Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 My tube is rubbing on my original GT-H hood in one area. I can't seem to figure out how to remedy the problem without a motor mount mod. Am I the only one? Any possible solutions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Espejo Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 Had the same problem. Fix is to relocate the fuel pressure block. Shelby performance parts, Shelby fuel pressure block relocation kit , cost is $199. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbytexan Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 I lowered my motor about a 1/2 inch with Lethal motor mounts. I had the carbon fiber tube from JLT. It sounds like the relocation of the fuel pressure block from the previous post would certainly be cheaper. Good-Luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TNTchris Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 Mine does not rub and I have the Shelby fuel pressure block relocation kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springer Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Mine doesn't rub. Amazing considering everything else! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jer Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Had the same problem. Fix is to relocate the fuel pressure block. Shelby performance parts, Shelby fuel pressure block relocation kit , cost is $199. We have a winner! THIS is the correct answer, and why we now stock them for sale: http://www.shelbystore.com/product-p/wfp-463rel.htm It used to be a "mystery part" that was tough to get through Whipple... now it's easy.

Jer Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Mine doesn't rub. Amazing considering everything else! You most likely already have the Relocation Kit and don't know it. Shelby usually uses this exact part when doing GT/SC upgrade installs here in Vegas. Jer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITHERTZ66 Posted June 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Jer, What is the installation process on the relocation kit. Is there a set of instructions online so I know what is involved? I can't imagine that all the Whipple HO kits rub and they didn't offer the solution in the "kit" up front. Seems strange to me /: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elgin Black Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 I installed the relocation kit for the fuel pressure sending block (Shelby gauge pod). Jer told me about the mystery part before he went to work at SPP. It cost $199 from Whipple at that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-man Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 I have a rubbing problem in my GT500, and was interested in the motor mount swap solution. Are there any negatives to this solution? Can I do it myself in the garage? are their anyother changes that need to be made? How does it effect the drive train angles? Anyone have any answers for me?

shelbytexan Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) I have the GT/SC and wish I had known about this before I lowered my engine. Edited June 18, 2013 by shelbytexan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine that all the Whipple HO kits rub and they didn't offer the solution in the "kit" up front. Seems strange to me /: It is not really a "consumer" part, we offer it as a convenience, so there are no printed instructions. It is, however, straightforward, and easily installed by a qualified tech (BTW, this is the fuel system, so an "unqualified tech" shouldn't be anywhere near it! LOL....) Whipple does not generally offer this piece or include it in their install kits because it is ONLY an issue when using the Shelby fuel block adapter to hook up a Fuel Pressure gauge. BTW, here's the thread where *I* learned about it a few years ago, should explain it pretty well: http://www.teamshelby.com/forums/index.php/topic/69604-installing-shelby-gauges-with-whipple/?do=findComment&comment=1193506 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be done in a garage, two people make it easier. No other changes necessary. Angle is affected a negligible amount. Jer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
