FM Extraction Hood $450 you pick up San Antonio TX
This hood cost me $750 delivered but I never installed it. I'll sell it for $450 if you pick it up. I'm *very* unwilling to ship ('cause shipping can run $150!). I'm located in San Antonio, Texas.
Reason for selling? I have a '99 engine in an NA body; the intake manifold will not clear the hood vents without hacking the hood or seriously machining the intake manifold. Thanks to my experience, FM now has the caveat "It may not be compatible with other modifications such as engine swaps...".
If you provide your old undamaged NA hood, I'll knock another $50 off the cost....

The intake manifold to hood vent interference is on the order of 1/2" to 3/4" on my car. I just can't bring myself to hack on the fiberglass vent and don't want to spend even more money having the fiberglass reworked after the hack job.
I'll post a photo of the back side this evening. It resembles the underside of the stock hood right down to the reinforcing braces. A beautiful piece of work which makes it even more frustrating for me that it won't fit my car.

and also quoting from someone else, as I haven't tried it myself yet, the Mazda Comp mounts are a bit shorter, allowing the motor to sit 1/2" lower than the standard mounts. Might be worth a shot ?
