Aftermarket Hood Options
I currently have a big block hood on my 1966 but since I have the tall deck 502 in the engine bay space under the hood is VERY limited (found out the hard way with a crack in the center). It fits but I cannot add a taller air filter (current is 1.5 inches tall). Is there a hood on the market that will fit and allow more room to clear the air filter assembly if I decide to change to a taller filter?

Try this. Poor picture but you get the idea.

I currently have the 1966 style big block hood on the car but there really isn't any room. I don't really like those from Mongoose. Poorhousenext, I may take you up on your offer. We could meet in Atlanta somewhere if that is OK with you. You can PM me your number and we could discuss it.
