    For me it would be access to the rear of the engine. Seeing the way they pack an engine under the cab in aero trucks reminds me too much of working on boat engines.

    I own one of the nicest 359 ext hoods in the country bar none. I love it don't get me wrong but it was given to me. My standard hood 359 is not as nice but its my pride and joy however I worked for it
