What if you cut away some of the support bracing on the underside of the hood, only in the area where a taller strut brace would go.

Would this give enough clearance for a taller brace to fit above the new manifold and still not touch the bonnet? Would it weaken the structural integrity of the hood too much if you removed some of its bracing?
