How much added room did the hood add? Also, mine is a 2000 with the Vortec motor. it's stock floored to the rocker, and without an intake on it, the throttle body is about 1/2" from hood skin. The motor has been lowered to sit about an inch off the ground. Another issue I'm facing is the fitting on the exhaust manifold for the egr system is right in the middle of where steering comes out of firewall.
I'm in the process of redoing the serpentine belt setup to fit the ac compressor under the stock hood, and also building the ac/ heater box under the dash that will have the blower motor inside the cab. Would anyone be interested in these pieces if I made a few of them? Let me know.
Then after that, I will be redoing the blower motor area on the Town Car cuz that's what is holding the front up from laying out.
