Functional Hood Scoop!

My thoughts exactly. II'd like 2 symetrical scoops. One for engine cooling and the other to feed an airbox. Kinda like a AAI? Ambient Air Intake?
I'll have to take a good look at the structure under the hood. It would be nice only to have cut sheetmetal but something tells me it'* not going to be that easy. Fortunately, the parts car is being stored where I have access to welders, cutting devices and people who know what to do with them .

It would be cool, however, my baby wouldn't look stock with one. I'd just remove the fogs [already off ], and run a tube up from there. Tons of are will come through there. Plus the holes in the grille and such let in ambient air anyways. Perhaps not as much as other methods, but I don't think you'll see a difference unless you've got an over heating engine.

But my fogs look so nice :( . I was gonna run a tube behind the foglights but I usually have them on most of the time so I figured I would just be sucking in the hot air that they produce.

What I meant was that they get really hot and I wouldnt want my air passing over them sucking in the heat produced from them.

Lotsa college, and a very technical job, bud.
Electronics (2 degrees)
High-frequency communications
Fluid dynamics (both hydraulics and pneumatics)
Lasers/optics
General Physics
And on and on. I was an Avionics tech on F4'* in the Marines for 4 years before I went back to college.
