    Problem I see is you would need to run a lift off hood with 4 pins.
    I happen to see any threads on this in my searches I'll link it over.

    I cant see your picture but if it is what I think it is, I just threw mine away. I took PCV piping and cut it to the lengths I needed, painted them black and on one end I put another set of hood pins on so that wind wouldn't catch the hood and take it away. I have taken the 4 pin lift off hood off and put on the factory hood so they weren't needed anymore and always seemed to be in my way.

    Those "prop rods" are for a A12 coded B-Body.  check with some of our sponsors....or summit and jegs sell hood prop rods if you don’t mind a non factory look.  As stated, you will need a fiberglass hood.....unless you’re a really strong individual.

    Yes, it's a fiberglass hood that's pinned. Wanting to lift it up some so they can see inside the engine bay and not just the blower sticking out of the hood
