hood and intake requirement for 351w in 95 GT?

[johnny_munyak]

Was contemplating a 351w swap and was trying to work out some details. I realize with the taller deck height, the stock hood useage is probably not going to work. However, I would like to keep the cowl hood requirement to a minimum. Some of them are just ugly. Part of the problem and what will determine the hood you will need is the type of intake required. Can someone give me some direction of what intake (upper/lower) they used and what hood was used to clear it? Pictures would be fantastic! My idea was to build a mild mannered, streetable daily driver 351. I had considered stroking it out to 393, or just rebuilding the shortblock and setting it up with free breathing heads and intake and matching cam. Ideas, comments are all welcomed.

I have a 351 in my 95 and use a Saleen hood. I also read in one of the Mustang mags that you could change out the motor mounts to lower the motor a bit and fit under the stock hood; of course it would also depend on the intake you are going with.
