If I remember right it seemed like a 3" was real tight if you wanted to be close to using the hood latch, even after modifications...

Its possible with a modified core support. Mine is 4" thick but is sectioned into the core support by 1". The front grille filler panel gets in the way. The hood latch support needs to be left out too.
