TT427 Corvette hood chop

Here's a quick chop a buddy of mine did for me. I have an extra hood and I'm considering doing this rather than putting a big cowl hood on my Vette to clear an intake. Yay or nay?

Cowl hood man, it'll cost more but be WAY cleaner on that Vette.

I don't really care for cowl hoods on Vettes.

I just think hackin up the hood will take alot away from its appearance, but its to each their own.

Why you would consider this an option I will never understand . Do it right and buy
a hood to fit it correctly .

If you have an extra hood, or have the cash to get a 'cheapy' hood from a junk yard to do some experimenting on - go for it.
Otherwise, i think it'll stick out like a sore thumb, and not in a good way.
Not to mention the hole in your hood will be a collector for a variety of things you
probably don't want in your engine bay. Nice fleet/stable btw, I'm sure they're all fun to drive. Good luck!
