I am thinking about putting a carb on my 86 Vette and was wondering if anyone has done this succesfully without having to modifiy the hood on the car ???

If so what Carb and what intake did you use ???

Any information would be of great help.

I have an '89 with a 780CFM Holley, but went with the Toledo Pro 4" high Rise. My '87 just received a Weiand Team G converted to C4SP FI (pics in "My Corvette Photos").
