Hello everyone, Im looking for a hood for this 87 gt im putting together for my buddy, the problem is i need a hood that is like a double cowl due to the intake elbow off to the side and by the time i install the piping for the turbos im really close to the strut tower. The problem is the ower of the car dont want nothing more than a 4in and it has to be a bolt on.i have a coulpe of pics to show you how high it is above the fender. Thanks Tom

I dont think the owner has much choice of the height of cowl he wants.... Sounds as if he i sol, other svt hoods are wider in the cowl area, but dont rise very high.

You're going to have to look at something the style of the Cervini Cobra R hood. My Buddy had to trim a hole around his on a standard cowl hood.

I looked into the cobra r hood and it just might work. I just dont know about the height. I have an e-mail in with the company to see what it is. Thanks for the replies guys.

You dont think it would be easier to just go on a few websites and shop around yourself rather than come on here and ask other people to go on websites and look for you while you wait for them?

I think you might have trouble finding a high profile hood that isnt just fastened with pins, unless a cobra r will clear that. most 4'' cowls are not bolt on, theyre pin down . good quality ones are harwood, h.o. fibertrends, boss inc, cervinis. champion and its cinci composites seem to get a lot of complaints so i would stay away from those brands

I dont mean to be rude man but i didnt ask for everyone to look on the web for one i simply asked for advice on a place to look. I looked at alot of them on the web before i asked for a little advice on this forum. The problem is that i cant use a normal 4in cowl hood due to its just down the center. But someone else understanding my post mentioned the cobra r hood and i looked at and it loos like it will work. just waitting for the company to send me the specs. Again im not trying to be rude but every forum ive been to is all about help and advice, do and donts and just bsing your other guys of the same car,truck and whatever else. Thanks Tom

no prob not trying to be rude either. I didnt know the Cobra R style was quite that high but maybe. which company are you talking to? Cervini's usually has high quality stuff.
