I needed extra hood clearance when I installed the 351W with a Stealth intake. I unfortunatly purchased a wavy crappy Shelby-style hood from Ebay for $275.00. That hood top had sepreated from the base and has disentergrated into 4 pieces on the highway. I have since refiberglassed the hood back together and it now fits even worse.
These are my three choices going forward:
1) Try to work with the existing fiberglass hood to get it to fit better, but then will have to buy better hood locks for stability and very time consuming.
2)Use my steel hood and change my intake to a Performer intake but will lose some power from the Stealth and will still have to buy a low profile air cleaner
as well as intake.
3)Use my steel hood and intall a 69 Mach hoodscoop. I am not sure if this combination will work because the intake really has a rise to it.
Your thoughts or experience??
