2" Dominator Hood anyone?
Anyone have the 2" Dominator hood or a picture of one? Even a pic of the 4" would be nice. I sold my stock hood as everyone said the RamJet wouldn't fit and I don't think the L-88 would look good with the 80-82 front end I'm putting on (although I could be wrong). This looks like a nice alternative but I'd like to see it on a shark first. Thanks!

In looking at what's on the web it seems that the 2 inch dominator comes only in a "race weight" version which doesn't work with the normal hinges but must be pinned at each corner. There's a heavy duty model that works with the stock hinge system but only comes in a 4.5 inch version. If anyone knows of a heavy duty version in the 2 inch size I'd be happy to hear it.

Bullshark: The 350. I wish the 502!
Any other alternatives? The 4" looks way too big, the 2" is only race weight I guess. Does anyone have the L88 on an 80 front end to see how it looks? Thanks
Bry
PS: While I'm at it, has anyone supercharged a Ram Jet 350 before? I'd like to eventually bump it up to 400/400 at the rear wheels but It looks like you need a new computer blah

I think it's between the 68-82 Cowl Induction and the L-88. What do you guys think?? This will be an 80-82 Front end on a '77 with an 80-82 rear end...

I have no idea, it's from one of the links posted above. Looks too tall for a 2".
