Consider leaving the stock hood.
I'd go on a rant about how wrong the majority of hoods look on a foxbody, but i'd probably insult half the membership.
I have a 1.5 cow and even that's too much for me, if my engine clears when I get the car painted, it will go back to stock.
Just remember, the only thing that truly matters when buying a hood is the quality fit and finish.
And cheap hoods don't have the safety catch necessitating hood pins.
If a better hood is $600, pay the $600...

Or even if it's a good fiberglass hood with the proper catch and you don't want it to come up at 120+

We have plenty of threads about [that] topic, around here too.

Making my own scoop/ram air all steel hood.
87-93 hood, hand fabricated SVO style scoop. Building it to be ram air, ducting within the hood and dumping to K&N cone filter in stock air box location.
Why? To be different and why not. I have had some time on my hands. Hopefully prepped and painted sometime this summer and on the car.

Not quite the impressive fabrication of KRUISR , but stock hood with older GT style scoop needed for clearance of my 393w.
Added some satin black wrap because I wanted to try some Mach I style graphics.

I have another fabrication that is partially complete. Again all steel. Essentially 1" rise cowl hood with an all steel replication of the 99-04 center recess section and hood scoop.
It needs more work than the SVO style hood above. The scoop is removable and will get a grill or mesh of some sort to keep debris out. I am thinking it will get same ram air routing as my other hood. Still a lot of smoothing and finishing required. I started it first but it is on the back burner for now.
Obviously not finished but maybe it inspires someone to try something on their own and a little different.
My inspiration for this hood is a pic I modified from two I downloaded from American Muscles website depicting hoods...

Almost like cowl induction, but with front intake? Interesting! What’s your side view vision? This pic is kinda cool...... and different!I have another fabrication that is partially complete.

Side view vision? As in what do I think the side profile will look like? I haven't taken a pic of it on the horizontal side view, but could do so on the weekend and post.
If I recall correctly the recess is about 3/4" at start of scoop and a total of 2.5/2.75" scoop opening as shown in second pick. So top of scoop is about 1.75-2" above cowl rise. No holes currently cut in the cowl opening, just extended factory underhood framing to new height. I may cut some slots for heat removal but hasn't been done yet.

Yeah..... just wondering what it would look like at that angle. I like where you’re headed though!!
Here is the cowl hood part on my stang a while back.
I build that first and had some body work issues so I stripped it down to start over. Before I got too deep into fixing it I got this vision. Part way through construction of the new hood I got the inspiration of the steel SVO inspired hood and started that.
The cowl rise is unchanged to today, so picture the scoop on top.
One final wacky idea for this hood is once I have the scoop/recess/cowl all dialed in.... I have pondered cutting the hood and making it a SHAKER scoop.
