Anybody know how to open the hood through the underside. *******Last thing I did to my 5.0 was putting on motor mounts on. As a result it left the engine slightly higher than usual. SO I adjusted the 'hood stoppers/bushings" to prevent it from hitting the shroud fan. Now it will not open. Any help will be appreciated.

Chances are that you raised the stoppers too much and now there is too much pressure on the latch not letting it spring open.
