This is probably a really stupid question. But do the big block hoods serve any purpose, other than looking good.

1991 Camaro RS, 3.1, K&N Air Filter..

 

From what I've seen of them, they don't unless you cut open the hood and rig up some sort of Ram Air set up... it might help an open air element for a carb get fresh cooler air...

1984 z28 w/ a 357 cu in. monster engine which is looking like the posterchild for Edelbrock with the exception of the Holley 750vac... all the suspension stuff... 9-bolt posi disk is in...

They're open in the back just like a cowl hood. So they can do the same thing a cowl induction hood can do (let air in). They just look different.

 

the hood looks awesome, but does anyone think that there would be room for a 142 cid roots type blower on a smallblock????? this is something i have been wondering for awhile
