Yes. This is the sacrifice you have to make to optimize your drivetrain. Since the B-series transmission is not repositioned, the H-series engine will now sit in a slightly higher position.
DA, EG, & DC owners can run an OEM hood while spacing the rear hinges 1.5 inches.
The EF faithful are not so fortunate. A cowl style hood/or modifications will be required. You need a solid 3 inches of clearance in a Rex. And no, the SIR hood does not even come close.
EK guys are the lucky ones. The hood will close completely without spacers.
