This is the hood I have on mine. 703701 : Hood - Cowl Induction Eagle Style at StylinTrucks.com

Not sure it will give you the room you need for the Alt. though.

I was perusing the newest LMC catalog yesterday (for F150 and Superduty's) and believe I saw more than a couple of cowl hoods. I've always liked their products.
