Nice work there sir. Mine rubs in the 2 O'clock position facing the front of the engine. I'm running small block mounts. Looks like they need to manufacture these hoods somewhere between big block and small block mounts.

Seems to be pretty common. The position of my rub negates a torque strap as well. While a cold air intake system would fix my problem and be very functional, ain't going to happen.

Agree, the ugly factor is a real issue especially with the ZL1 and you don't keep the car in the closet.

We always drilled and tapped the carbs on our circle track cars for a 5/16 stud

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

I'll look into it, thanks.

The problem is I don't need much.

That would not have been appreciated by your fancy aluminum block.
