Crashtd420 Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Crazy build love it.... personally I like it tilting forward. Plus the wind will keep it closed just in case, instead of smashing the windshield.. but I feel going to one side or the other is rarely done maybe I'm wrong but I never really see it.... My choice for your build would be to the side.... open towards the drivers side... 1 Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 I would leave it stock just because less work, but if your going to change it I would go with forward like a roadster as you can go straight up with it that way. Side ways is always going to cause issues with getting to things on one side or the other. 1 Quote Link to comment
Crashtd420 Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 I had another idea for you... What if you cut the hood in half, left to right... Half opens up like normal on the stock hinges, the other half opens forward .... I can find example of opening left and right but not front and back.... 1 Quote Link to comment
Crashtd420 Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Hell you could even cut around the cowl. Maybe tilt the center cowl forward and the side parts to the rear or something unique like that.... 1 Quote Link to comment

mrbigtanker Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 Drop a LS2 and that will help shave overall top clearance. 1 Quote Link to comment

Charlie69 Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Dual carbs with a blower. Sorry forgot you have a Ford engine distributor causes problems for the blower. But Hillborn Injection would be cool!!! Quote Link to comment
