I just slapped a ls/vtec in a crx with a stock hood.the hood will not close a good 1"+ i will get a pic in my gallery to show tomarrow.it sits pretty dam high.in the pics it looks a good 2".its pretty much a race shell so i am going to buy a differant hood or just cut the one for now.i just dont want my engine sticking out the hood.i know i have spaced some down with b16's but shit this would take way to much to get it down that far.i have hasport mounts and i have seen ls/vtecs in crx's with no hood issues.even if i cut the hood support only it will still hit so that means engine sticking out of the hood and every one will know what time it is besides it being gutted.I just know that alot of peaple have ls/vtec crx's and PLEASE let me know how you fixed it or the hood is about to get the cutter untill i get a new hood....thanks guys
