Default will strut tower brace fit under lt1 ws6 II style hood?

Im looking to get one mostly for cosmetic reasons so dont jump down my throat telling me they are useless for suspension. I have a ws6 II style hood (or i've seen it called a predator style hood) and wondering if anyone who has had this hood knows if it will fit. I asked the seller and they dont know (they say it wont fit a lt1 ss hood though). Heres a picture of my hood. Thanks

Mine fit fine under my stock WS6 hood. i can maybe measure the heigh of my bar and see if itll fit under your hood (maybe stack something to the same height and see if it bottoms out?

My bar is 3.5" above the intake manifold. That is measured to the top of the bar to the top of the intake manifold (right behind the throttle body plate, the thing that might say like "LT1" if u get a custom plate)

It should fit. The reason the strut tower bar won't fit a LT1 SS is not because the hood so much as the ram air intake that sits on top of the engine.
