motor is in, runs, went to put hood on, carb hits inside the hemi scoop. does anyone make an extra tall hemi scoop?? kinda neat problem to have, but I do need to fix it. looks like the scoop needs to be about 5" at the back of the scoop to clear.

I had this problem. The MP Cross ram is a few inches taller than the factory unit..So I had to ditch the very nice factory scoop for a AFX Hemi scoop...It fits now...

Sled City has them....They are about 5" tall in the back...I have mine handy if you want me to measure it.

I just reread your OP.
There is no way that these scoops AFX scoop is 5" tall in the back...
These are 5" tall or so i the front though.
