Turk and Jeff:

It doesn't stick through the hood on a Contemporary, although other kits will be different. Had normal hood scoop on car. Intake was Ford aluminum 2x4 single plenum.

If you have the motor apart, I would use hydraulic rollers. Can get just as much HP and rev nearly as high as solids, but no maintenance. With solids, you will be adjusting every 2 - 3000 miles and replacing valve springs more often.

I like the sound of solids better and they are authentic, but there is a lot to be said for reduced maintenance.
