Yes it is possible but I believe a few minor modifications are needed.

It should be covered in the M370 thread

I think so, AAM did my installation and it has the OEM engine cover still on it.

Fits fine. No mods needed. It just has a slight curve to it now because the M370 is larger.

To use the OEM cover, you have to separate the black plate from the silver plate and then use only the silver plate for the bolts.

I found this in the other thread.

Black plate isn't attached to the silver plate, they are two distinct pieces.

The optional black metal cover does bolt to the silver brace/plate underneath. Its just 4 small bolts that secure it, so its easily removable.

You can even run a the upper half OEM cover with the Motordyne black metal plate together if you'd like.

I know that, just stating that they aren't connected when pulling out of the box, mostly a minor and irrelevant detail. Wanted to make sure no one got confused that it's an optional cover and not something that needed to be installed. Thanks for clarifying.

Take a look at a 350z stock plenum and save yourself the excitement.

They've sworn over and over that it isn't "Just an HR Manifold" and that they've made changes to it.

The M370 is an HR manifold from the 07-08 350z VQ35HR, Motordyne admitted to this, so when you purchase the M370 it is predrilled, for the manifold to fit onto the VQ37HR as a bolt on, it comes with all the fittings, bolts, brackets, etc.

The design of the VQ35HR intake manifold runners are slightly different than the VQ37HR's, hence the pick up in power in the low/mid range on a stock tune, and potential loss up top. That's the trade off between the two...

Can you do it yourself and save money? Sure, go right ahead, but Motordyne saved this headache for everyone and sells it as M370. It's the same thing when people ask me why our Short Tails are so expensive and peopele can go to a muffler shop and get the same thing done for half the price. I tell them, go right ahead. I'm not stopping anyone. It's the same in this instance, you pay for the convenience factor


Back on topic:
we fitted the engine cover by shaving the engine cover hole right above the "v6", the engine cover is still held on by 4 out of 5 studs which is more than enough, it doesn't rattle, move and/or won't fly off
