Re: '72-'76 Hood Clearance (big block, specifically)

Thanks for the info, Mike. I'll definately check to see how everything fits when the time comes.

76grantorino- See this thread: http://www.fordmuscle.com/forums/tor...ny-torino.html
for info on the hood scoop. I think you even posted in there back when I originally wrote it...
