94/95 351 swap hood clearance thread

Venom,

Would it be possible for you to take an additional photo for me? One at fender level to tell the height of the intake at it most forward part with the hood open? That is the same external setup I am going to use, but I want to keep as low of a hood as possible (maybe a 1.5" or 2.5" Cobra R)

Also, what strut tower brace is that? Mine was missing when I bought it.

I'm not certain of other years or models but the 95 Cobra convertible did not have a strut tower brace from the factory.

What about the HO fibertrends cobra R hood? I think that was the original supplier for the '95 R, and their hood does not appear to have a underside shell which might give a little extra room. Maybe that hood only works with a stock style GT40 intake and doesn't have any room for a spacer. I was thinking about putting their hood on my car for looks, and the possibility of a future 351 upgrade but you have me wondering if it would clear.
