It’s fiberglass. You can make anything fit!
I learned several things when installing the L88 cowl induction plenum on a sbc with the ‘67 bbc hood:
I learned several things when installing the L88 cowl induction plenum on a sbc with the ‘67 bbc hood:
- The carb center is about 1 1/2” off from a bbc
- It is a cowl induction set up taking advantage of the high pressure area at the bottom of the windshield
- The areas at the front and sides are low pressure areas meaning you get little to no ram air effect at the front or sides (meaning the 65/66 hood vents are just that, vents not intakes)
- The best use of the 65/66 hood is air cleaner clearance and looks (why I used it on my 64 with a 427 sbc)
