Pretty much any 2.5 inducted cowl or larger. I really like my Cervinis although I'm in a slightly different boat.
How radical/tall will your intake be?
To be determined on what intake we're going with. I prefer it as subtle as possible. Once the builder gives me the options, I'll report back. I can deal with a 2.5".
Is a cowl hood needed or are there other types of aftermarket hoods raised enough to provide space?
I've seen people space the k member down to add hood clearance. If using a truck lower that bolts to a Holley systemax intake you may be able to use the factory hood. If using tall valve convers it'll cause the intake to need a 1 inch spacer. You could get away with stock valve covers with 3/8 spacers under the covers... that would allow use of a 3/8 to 1/2 spacer on the intake. Space the kmember about 1/2 to 3/4 and it may clear.
Dropping the k member will cause the rack and pinion to drop as well. Offset rack bushings can help regain some off that, but it depends on the pan you're using. The steering shaft may need to be lengthened depending on how low you go.
Just keep in mind that the suspension geometry would change. Lowering the k member is like raising the front of the body. Coil overs would help even the wheel wells back out for ride height.
With 1/2 spacers you should be able to clear a stock hood..... MM makes a decent set....
I run a Mach I hood on mine with vert mounts and a Edelbrock Victor EFI.
I occasionally get the slightest rub on the high corner of the upper intake.
The cowl portion of the hood looks to be about 1.5"
There are ram air hoods and such that offer more clearance and some are nice but... I dunno. I'm not a huge fan.
When I first saw this just now:
My first reaction was "sweet" but... look at all the crap you have to go through.
I just remembered this next item as a result of your thread. If I were buying an Aero Nose Fox hood today, it would likely be this one:

The car will be nose heavy enough with a 351w.
Adding another 20 lb's with a steel cowl hood,not a good idea, imo.

An aluminum headed 351 weighs about the same as a 302 with iron heads. There's only about 50 to 60lb difference if both have iron heads. Losing the air pump and aftermarket k member make up for alot of that.
I thought about this too but even a fiberglass hood has weight. The difference is pretty easily offset.
Or even a battery relocation.
2.5” cervinis. Fits nice but required more prep work than I would have liked for a $600 hood.
Sorry for the delayed reply, I was out of town for a few days.Do you have a link to that hood?
I dunno if this is a track car or not.
Hey Conductor... Street or track?
This is what I have on my 86 (4-eye version). They make nice stuff.
