You can just use O ring washers on your rear hood mounts, search.

People do it to relieve excess heat from under the hodd.

go to a hardware store and buy like half an inch little round spacer like a metal spacer to put over the bolt that goes into the hood to bolt it to the hinges.that will prop the hood up like you see on cars here on ht.

If you do the washer thing you're also going to need longer bolts.

What part of the engine is hitting the hood? My friend's H22 swapped accord had the powersteering pump hitting the hood so he removed it.

if its hitting the hood, that means your motor is not sitting properly the engine bay or you need new motor mounts

Just get some longer bolts and washers to replace the shorter ones on the brackets by the windshield. It'll be propped up in the back, but it probably won't hit anymore.
