Default looking for a 02 camaro hood to clear a BBC with dom & Plate

has anyone had experience with a hood that will clear a short deck BBC with a dominator (cross ram) and a 1" nitrous plate.... i'm pretty sure the Mike Moran hood will clear but it looks like a bitch to look over... im wonder about the sunoco extended version... some thing that is pin on that wont take a lot of time making it fit.


Thanks,


Tyler

call VFN and get the exact specs of the induction for the wide version sunoco hood. I am pretty sure that will clear for ya.

Justed picked up a Sunoco hood for my 02 and you will have 6 1/4 from the cowl leading edge... $458.00 pin on

The Sunoco style VFN clears a BBC with a Dart intake just fine. The real constraint is the rear float bowl on the carb hitting the cowl under the windshield.

Since you mentioned "cross ram", I am guessing you have a different configuration manifold than a regular BBC Dart manifold.

nothing special about a cross ram.... just turn it sideways for space limitations....
