In a heartbeat! If I had the blower then the hood would just have to get over it. They'll let you drive race cars at 13. That gives you 5 years you don't have to drive the hauler to get there. :D

Sure, I already cut up the original when I molded on the L88 scoop.
That way at least I knew I was sarting with a perfect fitting hood :yesnod:

No, I would mount a centrifugal blower under the hood! :)

Nice Blower matt m
the hoods are not marked for a particular year and VIN right or wrong?
would you do it to an all original #'s matching car?

YES! Plan to someday.
My question is, which adds more HP, your typical Weiland type supercharger, or a centrifugal like mattm has??

My car's original hood came with a hole cut in it for the tunnel ram that was there. So I took another hood and got a highrise after my aircleaner didn't fit the stock w/ the new motor.

Nope. Never. To begin with, blowers do not interest me, but if I was going to run one, I'd cut the hole in an aftermarket hood.
