Default Ls swap- Clearance

I have a Ls engine sitting in my garage and I am planing on swaping it in. What I was wondering was will I have to get a ZC or SiR hood seeing that im swaping in a b-series engine? I plan on using either hasport or place racing mounts.

I assume you have an 88-91 CRX? I have a 91 CRX with a 96 B18B1 and 92 YS1 GSR tranny. I used HASport billet mounts and there are no clearance problems with the stock hood.

I once heard about possibly moving the hinges at the back up a 1/2" or so. Cant remeber if they just put some washers in there or if the actually *massaged* the bracket, cuase I dont exactly remeber how the hinges mount. Anyways it would increase the angle of the hood and stuff would clear.
