Since my motor and intake system is little longer then that the stock motors, I'm about 2 inches longer in the nose. I will have to order a custom hood. The original support rods were too short, I ordered chrome ones and thought that they would be too. But to my surprise they are OK. I just needed to cut off about 1/2 in. so I could bolt them on. The radiator is nice and sturdy now. I will mount the air condenser next week for a test fit on the front after I get my new grill shell installed.
