DUI Fit Under Hood

I read that the DUI distributor will not fit under the hood without a 1" body lift or raised hood. Has anybody solved this fit problem another way such as modifying hood braces or something?

It probably fits with a 302. On our 66 with a 351w I had to trim the hood brace a little for clearance. You will also need a 13" or smaller air cleaner. I tun the edelbrock triangle filter with it.

Ditto on SteveL's reply. I've got a DUI on a 351W with a 1" body lift and stock hood, but I cut the brace before I put the lift on. I think there would be room for it with no cutting and a body lift. 302 should be no problem. I also had to get a new air cleaner setup (previous 14" K&N didn't fit). Anything 13" or less should do fine.
