To make it fit you should just have to grind the alt.  bracket down alittle bit.. I had to and the hood closes fine now.

We put a 5.0 with a Vortech on it into my son's project TC and we didn't have to modify it at all. The hood fit just fine. Oh, I take that back, we did remove the plastic duct work. That was it though.

Having said that, follow T-BirdX3's advice anyway. Close it very carefully the first few times, just to be safe.
