any firebirds with cowl or SS style hoods?

I see Hawks got a 5" cowl lift off and a SS hood, I don't think the SS hood would look good on a TA, but I'm interested in the cowl it anyone has pics

thanks
Vic

if that is 4" then 5 is way to big for me (it will be a decent 355)

For a cowl you could get away with a 2" no problem. Right now I'm running a high rise intake with a 1" spacer and a 4" air cleaner on a drop down base on top of my 355 and have about 1.5-2" clearance at the front most part of the cowl where the thing just starts to come up, granted it comes up quickly cause it's an after market cowl glassed into a stock hood, but if you went with a 2" cowl that starts the rise at the front of the hood you should be okay, might have to have a 2" air cleaner but so be it.


Edit-oops, thought it was shot with the breather in place, but that pic I looked up is old as the hills and looks like ****. sorry
