Default 557ci. Cobra

There has been an orange Cobra with a 460 stroked out to 557 ci on Ebay recently. This car looked well put together except for a large "hole" cut in the hood to clear the air filter/manifold. I have never seen another Cobra that needed the hood cut open to allow a 460 block to fit. It seems like the engine was somehow mounted too high in the vehicle. Has anyone any idea why the engine wouldn't fit without cutting the hood for clearance? It looks hooky having a huge air filter sticking up thru the hood where the hood scoop used to be.
