What about using 88-98 hood hinges? Joel McPherson did on his truck. Here's a pic.

Re: anyone looked at explorer sport trac hood hinges
How do you make the cowl strong enough to do the job?

Re: anyone looked at explorer sport trac hood hinges
If you did that you would have to add gas shocks too, or a hood prop. I hate hood props they are always right were you need to be. If your going to change hinges I would use the 90s style Buick Lesabre ones and suicide the hood.
