The hood is on for storage purposes. The supercharger pulley doesn't clear the hood because of the slope on the nose. If it was a Camaro it would all fit.

I have an extended oil sump and I'm going to put on a normal oil pan and gain 2-inches of ground clearance. Then I'm going to drop my crossmember 2-inches and the pulley will clear. At best I will have to use a small 2-inch cowl from Harwood to clear an air filter. Still, that's not too suggestive of what's under the hood.

Ah.. very nice...

I couldn't believe it at first, I thought it wouldn't fit with a hood..

I was thinking.. All that time trying to decide on a hood, and he gets a stock one

Storage purposes are good I say. you could cut a hole in the hood to fit the pully
