Default Motordyne spacer HELp

I just bought a motordyne spacer.

Just wondering if it willl clear my factory strut bar.


5 /16 spacer

I bought it brand new from ebay from the infinity dealership. They claimed it fits all 03 z and g's. Is it the exact same engine. Also, will this size allow me to retain my factory strut bar.

Also, do you guys prefer this motordyne brand over the stillen.

I paid 220 usd plus shipping to obtain this brand new with all hardware. IS it a good price

it will fit. the one that doesn't fit is the half-inch or something. The engine is fundamentally the same in terms of dimensions. The Z has a different Z-tube. The spacer will fit rev-up engines as well.

the md spacer comes with spacers for the factory strut bar. A bunch of us have it and we're all running the factory strut bar still.

Should take about an hour. Make sure you have a torque wrench for the putting the top plenum back on. Eveyrything you need is in the kit. Spacers, longer bolts, etc.

+1 on the fit. 5/16 is fine, no need for new strut bar.

It wont fit with your strut bar the way it is right now, when you install it the kit comes with spacers that lift the strut bar enough to clear the new height of the intake manifold.

If it is brand new item from Motodyne, then it should comes with all the necessary spacers & bolts.
