How can I tell if my hood will clear the radiator top for a 290hp? The car was hit in the front and I am missing a few front pieces and think I have a correct hood. Were they all the same, does someone have pictures if they are not? Thanks to any help.

Re: 60 Hood, FI cut out??
If the hood is bolted on the hinges, then it is easy. Get some clay or Play Dough and put a big glob (technical term) everywhere you think it may hit or you are worried it might.
Slowly close the hood to where it rests on the latches but is not latched. This is where it sits open about an inch or two in back.
Now open and check the clay and see how compressed it is.
If you have plenty of thickness of clay, then attempt to close the hood completely by pushing the hood closed at back, not dropping it.
Then check the clay again.
BTW, do it with the engine cold or you will have a mess.
