Well, first, you need a bigger motor...

Me thinks you need a bigger car, a lot bigger car. You could always try a hood off a Semi, it might work.

6" cowl should do it. 6" fiberglass cowl hood fixes anything.

That mutha is gonna push hard in the corners. I'd move the engine back a few inches.

I did that same swap. I made it work with a flat hood but you need to use the ATS motor mounts. The only problem I had is that you may run into clearance issues with the headers hitting the steering box.

You are not doing your engine swap's right.Because I have seen that swap done in a smart car w/no hood mod's.:fingersx:
