Hey guys I know this has been discussed over again I did a search, and I got all the parts heres my list: throttle cable off an 86,tps connector off of fox harness,EGR delete plate 3/8" thick,new 70mm TB with new sensor,IAC,and even fox valve covers so Im ready do this BUT I couldnt find info on hood clearance and was wondering if the stock SN hood will hit or be a problem that I would have to deal with (GRINDER?) and could a fox CAI be used assuming I cut a hole for the air temp sensor, thanks.

I ran the stock hood with both the 93 Cobra and an Explorer and a 3/8 spacer to boot...You should be fine...

On the Fox CAI...it'll get you by...I used some of the pc's before..
