I have read the following article a few times and it looks like the Pro Flo XT fits under an 86 hood, just wondering if the 84 and 86 hoods are the same?
I took a close look at my hood and then matched it up with a spare hood I have.
I also match this up with and 85 hood on another Vette that was at a swap meet over the weekend.
They all look the same except for the crossfire ducting, which is well away and to the sides of the hood.

I know there is air ducting in my 84 hood, but this will not come anywhere near the Pro Flo.
I am sure that the 9" on the Pro Flo is ok, it would just be the 90mm throttle body that will be an issue, as the hood starts to drop down.
I measured from what would be the china wall on the engine block to the top of the crossfire and I am sure it is 235mm or 9.25"
Any thoughts?
