VFN Fiberglass will make you a custom hood if you really want a WS6 type. I checked into it awhile back I could get a 4" WS6 Ram-Air type for $605. That's the bolt on too! Main thing why it was so high was because they have to use the mold from the 4th gen and transfer it to the 3rd gen type hood. If you get 9 other people though to order some type of hood with ya they should cut 75 bucks off that. + Everyone else that gets a speciality hood, doesn't have to be a custom gets like 50 bucks off I think. It's been a few months since I checked on it.

I was thinking about doing it for my new motor (Victor jr w/ 2" spacer and big filter). I end'd up buying a banged up fiberglass 4" glasstech hood for 175 bucks then paid 125 for shipping back to IL from FL (funny it came from IL when first made). Then I fix'd that up.

The regular WS6 types only have 2" or 2.5" clearance.
