Default Anyone have the high rise hood?

Anyone with the high rise hood (the one ecklers sells) please post some pictures. I have the 350 ram jet, and I'm debating whether to go with an L88 hood with the underside trimmed out or the "high rise" hood i've seen a few times. any input is greatly appreciated... thanks.

Default I've got RamJet with the L88 hood...

I had to trim the innards to make the engine fit.
I then fabricated a cowl induction system using 2 small K&Ns, abs, sheet-metal ducting to feed the front snout.

I have the Ecklers Long L-88 also on my 69. It fits perfect also. Just need to figure out a CAI as right now the engine is only breathing hot air probably costing me at good 20HP.
