Victor junior and stock hood

Hey guys, I've asked the question on this site and other and everyone said the stock hood wont work with a victor jr/carb setup. Well I am here to prove all the nay sayes wrong.

All I had to do to get it to fit was cut a small triangle above the carb and now I have about 2" of space about the carb. So anyone with the Turbo hood like I have, try to test fit unless you are stuck on a cowl hood.

It was never a thought of will it fit for me, it was, will it fit with a air cleaner?

I did it, think I may very well be the first one to do so, but alas, the formula hood is probably the only one to be capable of the swap.

But alas, the helping factor was a performer intake:

Where did you get that carb hat from? Do you have a link by chance?
