In order to make it fit with a stock hood people have had to make plates to raise the body of the car like 3/4 of an inch. I would think with the cowl hood though you would be fine.

Nice, if you need a hand let me know... The car is doing well, took care of all the stupid problems and its working correctly for the first time in a long time... As it turns out my cold start issue was a problem with one of my injectors were leaking. I got them cleaned and flowed matched and its all good now.

I don't know how big is the cowl on my body's car but if you want I can ask him how much space there is between the blower and the hood.

what size wheels does your buddy have on the front there Burbank? And what kind of wheels are they. thanks.

A guy around here has it under the stock hood, but he said he spent a lot messing with the motor mounts to get the engine down a little. In stock form it shouldn't quite fit.

EDIT: with your cowl I believe it should fit fine.

On my GT we needed to use a Cobra R hood... this hood just barely clears the 2.93 pulley. I am pretty sure the stock cobra hood will clear... here is a couple of my 96GT.

My brothers fits just fine under the stock 97 Cobra hood with a 2.90 pulley.

sure hope not! The hood on the 96-98s is actually one of my favorite exterior parts on a stock Cobra!

No one will think the lesser by the way she looks! mwahahaha!

You could place some washers below where the frame to K-member bolts mount. That should drop it 1/4 to 1/2 inch needed.

have a hood with a 2.5 cowl now and it hit my intake on the stock 96 intake

You are saying your stock intake wouldn't clear the stock hood, and it still hits a 2.5" hood?
Am I missing something?

it hit the back of the hood, the back support part

Your stock intake won't clear the stock hood OR the 2.5" cowl

I have a 96 with an 03 build. The hood will not close. What we did was cut a small hole in the underside for the IAC. You can't see if from the outside. You'll have to test it though - when you get on it, the motor shifts and the hood bent/broke the connection to the IAC - car died. We had to take a file and make the hole a little bigger. Works great now. I LOVE my swap!
