Just a fix. I would shim up the hood shelf by making the wood blocks thicker where you need it. Measuring the distance thats short will tell you what you need.

The real problem maybe a sag at the rear engine mount as others have mentioned.
Putting a straightedge along the top of the frame at the mount will quickly tell you.

As a friend of mine would say "Many cars are repaired. Few are restored" JP
