Do I need a cowl hood.

New here picked up a 68 shorty and got a question please. I am installing a 406 with a Victor intake, holly double pumper and a 4x14-inch filter. My question is will this fit under my stock hood and what do I need to make this work without purchasing a cowl hood? I personally like the stock look better. Thanks for your time.

Re: Do I need a cowl hood.

There should by plenty of room under your hood for that set up and I agree that the stock hood looks better.
