oops, saw the answer.

But, will it clear the hood (I thought I posted this already but I guess not). Can you use the existing hood with this swap?

I knew that could be done without butchering the thing to death. Do you think you could put the stock hood down without hitting or will you need a scoop?

Thanks, I couldn't find anything with the search feature of this site. You guys are awsome. Now the only question for me is... do I blow my wad on the 383 and save myself all that cutting and welding (although I do know how to weld, I need a lot of practice to do anything that'd be show quality, or do I spend about the same on a 502 (BTW same tranny 700R4 I believe works with both) and then go nuts trying to make it look stock? I really want a quiet daily driver that could trick one of those Cobra GT's to race me and then POW I'm gone faster than he could say "HOLY S***!" Of course I only race 0-speed limit then I stop, all I don't need is an exhibition of speed on my record to match the two speeding tickets. I usually win with my Prelude Si, but it's virtually totaled right now (not worth fixing, won't pass CA smog). Thanks all.

Has anyone tried to make a sleeper with a 502 in it? I have pictures of a 454 in a Z but it's not a sleeper for sure. The engine is snug against the firewall and the valve covers are past the hoodline, the hood would basically be one big hole, if he put it on. Although he also has a blower on it, I wonder if he can see from the drivers seat, watch that right turn. If I knew how to add a picture I would add it here, I don't have a website to point to.
