Hood to throttle body clearance
gwistrup Sat Sep 21, 2019 9:05 am

Thanks for the picture. Am I correct that you were able to leave the edges of the reinforcement intact?

Here's mine! I made a small backing plate to "box" in the piece cut out.

Did you glue in the plate? Could you give me the dimensions of the size of the cut and how far it is away from the front support that the hood latch bolts to? I really appreciate it.

Here is what I inherited. Precision scalpel work.... (bought mine as a work in progress).
LS1 throttle body has been shaved a bit as well.
(First pics I have ever tried to upload... hope it helps ....)

(Sorry... posting pics threw me for a loop)
Tape measure is 'hooked' onto one of the hood latch bolts.

Thank you for the information. Now I can trim the hood to the correct size and paint it when I paint the rest of the engine compartment.
