Duster Hood Question

JeffisOld said

May I ask how you guys are dealing with the fiberglass hood. Have you removed the hinge springs to not damage it. Other than 4 hood pins I am curious. I am putting a stroked 440 in a 69 Dart with an RMS front suspension. I am concerned a taller manifold will create issues for the EFI air cleaner. Thanks

You can bet ur bippy you`ll have hood clearance problems I use a lift off hood because of a stiff (ex broken neck). I took the hinges and hinge pins both off mine. I have raised port heads which makes it even worse ! FAST has a big, flat air cleaner that may work, but I aint giving what they want for any air cleaner !
