I have ended up putting a 370 in my 1997 ta. I used the edelbrock intake with 4150 tb and a turbo hat.
Anyhow, to make a short story of it. I do not want to cut my oem ws6 hood to make it fit.
Is there a decent looking hood out there that could possibly clear the turbo hat?
This is what I have to work with.

Yeah I am not a big fan of that hood. I liked the 98 up raised ws6 but...
Anyhow, I would think a ta hood with the sunoco scoop on it would look good.

It looks like you are doing alot of work to the car ( looks good) But if you want a hood that would work you should do a 98-02 front end that just my .02. Don't get me wrong the LT1's look good but the LS1's look damn GOOD!

That is the thing, I want to roll up and someone think that is just an old lt1 car...lol...sure does mess these rednecks up around here. :secret2:
However, I may end up doing that.

someone from one of the other f-body forums found this.... might just be perfect for you... 3" rise, if someone here is good with photoshop im sure they could change the color of the car to black to give you a better idea of whats yours would look like

You could make a shaker style hood.

I do like cowl hoods that are modest, maybe a 2-1/2 rise. or a Big Block hood with the inside clearanced
