Does anybody make a cowl hood for a 68 Mustang?

My dad put a 351 into his 68 Mustang and the carburator is dead even with the hood, theres no way that he can fit an air cleaner in it the way it is. Is there anybody that makes a cowl hood for a 68?

Check out www.mustangsplus.com fiberglass section. I had 3" cowl on my '67 (same as '6[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_cool.gif[/img]. I think these hoods are manufactured by maier racing www.maierracing.com

The construction is heavyduty with reinforcement in hinge and latch area. Not terribly light though.

I have a 68 Mustang with a 351 and running a Victor Jr. intake. I use the 13" chrome breather from Ford Motorsports and a 3" thick filter.
I use a Boss 429 scoop. I cut a hole directly above the carburator and it sticks through the hood and nicely into the scoop with plenty of clearance. The scoop looks right for the car and most people love it.

Can you post a picture of the hood for us?

My dad really didnt want to just put a scoop onto the hood because the hood on it has some bondo in it so he was just going to get a new one.
