My New Hood .... :-)
Hey guys,
i wanted to post pics of my new hood that i ordered but never had the time. The hood is only 22 LBS and has a plenty or room to fit a huge turbo or an intake. The cowl runs all the way to the windshield which i think looks sick . i also made them patch up the spot where the headlights use to go, i no longer run the pop ups. ill post pics of the hood on the car when i go back home this week for thanksgiving, but for now this is all i have ... thanks

You should have turned that cowl around and put a scoop on it! I have seen a few like that and they look pretty tough.
Like the look and 22lbs! Christ I am thinking about putting a cement block up there under mine! You will be having the same problem

lol ... im working on a way to force air in the motor just the way a scoop would. a friend of mine made one for his all motor SBC that runs 8.5s
. its a an alum pan thats starts around the carb and runs down all the way under the bumper or the front licence plate , 
its a much cleaner look and only getting cold air from out side.

yeah , they can add any kind of scoop or cowl. i picked that one becuase it has lots of room. this cowl has more room than the normal 5 inch tall cowl, but becuase of it shape it looks no taller than a 3 inch cowl. its a"Sunoco Style" Extended to windshield 28" wide x 4-1/2" tall. This Scoop is designed to give you plenty of clearance and visibility, from the inside of the car this appears no taller than a 2-3 inch cowl.

Could you install the headlights on it...if you didn't had it patched. And are you going to install it on the hinges or will it be a clip-on.
