If you do, make sure you use a GMC, not a Chevy hood. The opening in the front
of the GMC hood allows additional cool air to the engine compartment which will
increase horsepower at least 400%.

In that case, can I put a '57 hood on my '54? How much faster will it go?
So far top speed has been almost 60, but that was sitting on a trailer.
