I've been over a hundred a couple times, and the hood does flex a good bit. I'm gonna have to get hood pins I think. But the fact that they sell fake hood pins, like at CDC, is just silly. That's rice, IMO.

I am putting hood pins on my V6 but real hood pins along with shelby stripes and a flowmaster exhuast, along with some other goodies I have learned from building early 90's 5.0's. With the current option list for parts for the V6 I am sure I can get another 65hp out of the motor in a snap. That and the fact that the V6 block is cast iron and a larger bore make the V6 the motor of choice for tuners.

classic design concepts (cdc) has hood pins that will fit on anything
i think it would really give it that retro look

Took the pins, screwed them into a nut. Put them on the cross member where I wanted them. Closed the hood down on them to see where I would have to cut the insulation away. Cut the insulation away. Put a little red paint on the tips and closed the hood down on them. The paint left marks on the underside of the hood. Easy.
Took string to measure the distance to the angles on the hood to make sure each mark was in the same spot on each side of the hood.
