actually im goin to try to make 2 different uses out of this hood

one being yes a ram air concept, and the second will be the side vents used to force air on the side of my block along the exaust manifold for seconday cooling.... i will post all the pics as i get it going a little more, ive been pondering this thought since i ever got my first bird. i wanted to do 2 cowls reversed but they wouldnt look good for sh** for the centering proportion of thing

sounds like a good idea, unless you drive it in the rain. The it will force water onto either side of the block. Not good

Just thought i would see what it would look like on a red car, that way you would be able to see the black parts a little better, unless you dont want to see them.

oh well here ya go, if you care
