i am like 99.9% positive it would work with just our stock hinges because it wouldnt open at the right angle and would end up like hitting the front bumper or something. but again i could be wrong. I know there are places online that sell reverse kits (universal, it takes the front of the hood up and inch or two before opening so it doesnt hit anything)
you would prob need to weld it in place, and get hood pins (as there is no hook in the front) but if you are determined and get the kit, i think it could be done.
