hood fitting problems
Hello, I just put a 383 in my 85 vet and I put a holly intake on it and the hood doesn't close. Does anyone know where I can get a cowl induction style hood in fiberglass or carbon fiber (I would rather have a carbon fiber one).
Thank you,
Bill

corkevette has a cowl hood on his car. If he doesn't respond soon do a search for him. He's always helpful

I was also wondering if anyone makes a light weight hood. I don't know if anyone here has taken there hood off but it is VERY heavy.

Did you install the Stealthram? Performance results please ? Looks like a nice setup for the price.

Re: hood fitting problems (Spankyellow)
It's intalled but I haven't driven it due to the lack of hood. I'll let you know when it's all done, but it might not be this season.
