So what is the trick to putting in the 440 with out having to cut the hood and installing a scoop?

My brother did it on his, and to put it simple, you can't unless you use a very shallow intake.

With the air-gap, he has just enough room to run either a foam triangle or a short, small chrome open element, neither of which is a good option. Both are against the hood when closed.

He's going to get another hood and cut it for a scoop.
