My dad and I are in the process of repaint my XJ. The hood had bad hail damage and my dad located one in a junk yard. After he had already spent some time working on the "new" hood.. we realized the "new" hood latched in the center rather than on the side. I looked at the hood on a 2000 XJ and it latched on the sides like mine.. so I'm thinking maybe this is a pre- '87 hood? I know to fit the 4.0 AMC had to notch the firewall.. and I'm thinking maybe they had to move the radioator forward, which did'nt leave enough room for the hook to go down through the radiator support, so they relocated the latches to the sides... am I right?
