351w under 2" cowl

I am doing a 351w swap. I plan on using the convertable mounts that are already in the car for now. I will be using a victor intake and holley carb with no spacer. Will this fit under my 2" cowl or am I gonna have to have a bigger cowl. I have seen pictures of cars with this setup that look like the top of the "tall" valve covers sit flush with the top of the fenders and I have seen ones that look no different than a 5litre. Where is the dramatic difference in the motor height coming from? I found this picture on another mustang forum. though it looks bad aZZ, this is what I dont want to happen.

If you look at the radiator hose, I looks like it is out of place due to the motor sitting so high.........maybe it's just me

i would say the best bet is to just try the hood and if it don't close then you'll need a bigger cowl

Well, thats a no brainer. My car has new paint and I really dont like the big cowl hoods. I will change my intake selection before I put a bigger hood on it.
