Yeah for real. It's kind of a rat anyways. Just cut the center section of the hood out. Better... cooling.

You could always apply an inobtrusive little cowl, gives you clearance and looks super sleek.



btw, googled "huge cowls"...



right up my alley

This seems like a good place for the motor .. except the oil pan's on the ground, the hood won't shut, and the "frame" can go 2" lower





Nice and far away from the firewall... :

Okay, "now" this is starting to get fun .... :







Except I had to raise the car .... ... to close the hood ..... now it's not even going to look low fully dropped ... FUUU!!!







Don't even say dry-sump it .... I need a smaller flywheel/bell housing...

The hood prop slide got in the way.... :
