Stock hood, strut tower bar clearance

Hey guys Im about to do a Head, Intake, TB swap on the ole stang. Goin with edelbrock performers, trick flow street heat and a BBK 70mm. Will this fit under the stock hood and strut tower bar or will i need to replace one or both of them? Thanks for the help. This is the kina stuff i need to know before I get them put in only to find that they dont fit.

The strut tower brace will need to be replaced and the hood should be fine depending on what spacer you go with.

How big of a spacer can i fit before the hood becomes a problem?

my edelbrock manifold rubs on the hood liner with no spacer...so if you remove the liner id say maybe a 1 inch spacer with that trickflow....

oh and no matter what the stock strut tower brace is junk...there are no manifolds except the stock one that will fit with it....

Alright well the tower brace will go, i might go with the 3/8th spacer though just to be sure. Do i have to get different intake bolts if i get the spacer or are the ones that come with the intake long enough? Or does the spacer come with a nne set of bolts? Thanks for the help.
