Mazda RX-7 (FD3S) V8 MS Engine Swap Carbon Hood

Product Description

The V8 MS hood is built for the swap crowd. Raised profile and extra vertical clearance for engines that don't fit under a stock FD hood — LS, 2JZ, K-swap, anything taller than the 13B. Vacuum-process carbon, OEM hinge and latch fitment, aggressive vented profile that actually clears your manifold and intake.

Key Features

• Engine swap clearance — raised profile clears LS, 2JZ, K-swap, and other taller swaps that won't fit under a stock or standard Mazdaspeed-style hood.
• Vacuum-process carbon construction — true carbon weave throughout, UV-stable clear coat.
• Aggressive functional venting — pulls heat out of the engine bay where swapped motors need it most.
• Direct OEM fitment — bolts to factory hinges and latch. No bracket fab, no shaving.
• Significant weight reduction over factory steel.

Why Upgrade

If you're swapping an LS, 2JZ, K20/K24, or any other engine that's taller than the 13B, hood clearance becomes a real problem fast. Most swap builders end up cutting their stock hood, fabbing a clearance bubble, or running an open hood at the track. The V8 MS solves it cleanly — raised profile, factory-style fitment, real carbon construction. Built specifically for the people running serious engine swaps in their FD.

Engine Swap Compatibility

• LS swap (V8) — GM small-block clears with stock-height intake
• 2JZ swap — inline-6 with most aftermarket intake manifolds
• K-series swap (K20/K24) — fits with most intake setups
• 1JZ, RB, SR, and other tall-deck swaps — verify intake height vs hood clearance
