I think its he's using a cheap way of letting colder air get to the engine compartment for heat reduction and to the intake area. I have diffinintly never seen someone cut into the hood like that, majority of guys go ahead and my nice carbon fiber hoods that have ducts in place to perform the same task i noted above, letting colder air into the engine compartment and the throttle body

seems like the higherr mounted engine look comes from forgoing the necessary cradle and transmission adjustments to properly fit the 20b in. i have seen both of pettit's cars in person, and a hand of other 20b cars, and trust me, they did NOT look like this one.....

Actually I think that hole in the hood is there because the 20B sits too high... kinda like those old muscle cars with engines sticking out of the hoods.

I like the paint actually. Def different. I hate the kit and the wheels though.

As for the whole in the hood. Could it be that fabricated his own setup to get it in there and give him max. ground clearance? I would think theoretically that a 20B installed how pettit or pfs installs them would have the same ground clearance as a 13B so there would no reason to mount the motor higher or make it sit higher for ground clearance reasons. But I could be wrong. Maybe he made his own mounting system for the motor and fucked up somewhere.

And that motor is def sitting way too high to me. No 20B installs I have seen have problems clearing the hood.

Gid rid of the hood and the flames, then it'd be a semi-decent car.

Wooosh.....

I think the guy is going for the ricer look on the car, and i could of done a better job on the hood than he did even though i don't know anything about it, this is truly an insult to the FD

Well, he did not paint the hood, so he is probably getting a hood made to fit the car properly. Hopefully.
