The problem I had with a different bar from FWD-P on my '86 Daytona was twofold:
1) The bar didn't clear the intake on the top of the early T1 draw-through throttle body. The plastic snout and rubber duct sit too high. I'm not sure if your's has the same problem. 2) The bar didn't clear the drain box on the hood vent, as you said. I've since switched to a T2 setup, but I still can't clear the vent drain box. I've been thinking to make my own, I'd have to make a strut mount with some extre plate to move the bar forward. I'd have to take a measurement again, but I think it would overhand the front of the mount by about an inch. Moving it back is not an option for most because the box has a gutter that directs the water behind the turbo, however moving it forward still wouldn't help if you have an early T1 unless the bar was raised as well. The other option is to have a bar that runs along the firwall and have a trianglular brace to the strut tower. That would not be as stable, though.
