for your hood problem, i think you should do like a custom stock looking hood. like, take the center part of the hood and cut it out, raise it, and do it like that. itll have a cowl induction look to i, but itd look sick, imo.
lol, whoa brad, i'm a perfectionist too, and do my OWN work for this exact reason, and can tell you that "nobody who see's the engine bay is automatically going to think it's stroked to j36" either. Guaranteed they will think it's a simple j32 swap, thus, keeping the valve cover shroud will maintian somewhat of a sleepy look. granted, i've thought about having a 3.6L plate machined/painted to mimic the stock badge, so i understand your logic here...all in due time!!!
as for the MT, damn buddy, this is the second "dreaded AT" comment you've made about the car. how long has my swap been complete? 3 weeks! when i save a little more $$, you can bet on the fact that the 6mt will be in there! you haven't said one positive thing about the car since i've posted pics here OR v6p![]()
