Hood clearance problems!?

Im building my 350 with new heads,cam and intake. I have the stealth ram intake and I know it sits higher. I placed it on the car with the new heads and I noticed how tall it really is. Im getting concerned that it might not fit my stock hood. Does anyone have/had this problem and know how to fix it, if possible with a stock hood?

Thanks.

Grab some play dough and try it out. Usually HSR only gives firebirds trouble because our hoods are lower
