In need of mentor.

Well the factory DOHC cars had the bulged hood to clear the timing belt cover but this one has the DOHC swapped into a SOHC car and he forgot to flip the one motor mount so the motor sits a little higher than stock and it hit the underhood bracing so the PO notched the bracing. So even if I got a new hood I'd have to at least notch that. The high spots are all small and only 1/8" high or so.

I'll try to get a pic of it tonight n see what y'all think.
