hood support thats going to get cut out is more like an inch high itself, insulation pad prob 1/4"..
think its just going to take a good hood slam after both are removed to fit

Just cut hole in hood, weld in additional support if necessary and send it. Gone too far now to go back

This immediately comes to mind--Imma be honest with you guys...this is not a good bolt on mod
Starting to doubt its gonna fit with the hood closed. There's about 3/4" between the insulation pad and the hood bracing. That pic was taken before intake was set all the way back. Needed like 2" to close at the time. Sliding back does help but dunno

we'll see tomorrow, i marked out how much of the hood support needed to be cut out. was just getting too late to be out there hacking away with a grinder.
got a little bit more in the cowl to remove also, giving engine a little room to move around. on the afp poly mounts and poly transmission mount but just dont want it sitting up against anything.
need to box in around where i cut out, that is where the cabin sucks in air - dont want to leave it open to the engine bay (heat and crankcase smells)
and then need to figure out how to keep the passenger side wiper going, cause i dont think it will go back on how it was. that side is really only a support post, so i just need to mount it in relatively the same location to work.
