Has anybody ever tried to put a 70's style shaker hood scoop on a 3rd generation Carb T/A. If so can I see pics and get any advice?

Saw this one at school. It says 454 HO on the shaker. It looked real clean when I saw it!!

Has anyone ever seen an L88 hood on a third generation? I think it would look awsome if someone had enough ambition to build one.

Thats awesome, I love the shaker hood.

There was a Yellow Z28 for sale on the side of the road a few years ago with an l88 hood. looked really good imo. havn't seen that car around for a few years now. Looking back, i probably should have bought it lol

Looks pretty sweet, but I don't think anyone sells them.

looks great! :lala:

That shaker is AWESOME!!:hail:

Cmon guys,i know that it's a nice TA but i couldn't be the only one that saw this.

I swear to *** I never even saw that!! I must have been more impressed with that shaker than I thought.

Ok typical ignorant person walking in.....Whats a shaker hood exactly?

Who cares with that hot piece of @$$ in the pic...
seriously tho... im not positive but i think theyre talking about the part of the hood cut out for the intake...like a hemi 'cuda or a roots supercharger. correct me if im wrong.

Basically that's it. The 2nd Gen T/A's had them. I'd love to buy one!

you and me both

tamatt if you know her hook a brother up:rockon:

I like the car better. When you get older, you won't oggle everything with *****!! Bahhhhhhh J/K

That scoop is attached to the motor, so when the motor "shakes" so does the scoop....hence "shaker".

i like to oogle...

other than it looks cool. I dont see any cold air benefit for the TPI

I think it looks cool, funtionalor not. My Iroc hood louvers are just for looks.

Oh! There was a car in that picture???

This is the part (as a Moderator) I ask you to stay on the topic or I will be forced to close this thread. Have a nice day!

*ahem* oh yeah that shaker hood does look tight. if i had a ta, it's definitely a mod i would consider.

i think i am gonna try it. it looks soo nice on that car! now only if it could work with a TPI

I saw a 91 Firebird at the 1994 Trans Am Nationals, that was done up as an early 70's T/A, with a shaker, engine turned dash, rally II wheels, and taillight mods.

The car was painted white with the blue stripe, and the shaker was mounted to the air cleaner, as it should be.

I'll have to dig up the pics, and post a couple

I absolutely love the shaker hood on that T/A. Whether or not is could be functional, I think that maybe it could. I own a T/A with the TPI. It would probably take some fabrication by creating a tubing with air filter that ran from the throttle body to the opening of the shaker hood inlet. All I can say is that I am going to put more thought into this. It is too cool not to work. TPI guys and gals, lets put some thought into this. Viva la shaker hood!

That's cool and all...but where do we get one???

Only thing I can say, is you have to fabricate it yourself

Get an original 2nd gen shaker assembly, and start measuring

why wouldnt anyone miss seeing her? shes ugly,id notice that T/A anyday over her uke:

Mark B, I dont't know about you, I love cars, but I love women more! Besides, its always a good thing to see women "shaking"

This is your last warning.

Anyone have any pics of the shaker hood set up with a Camaro? Someone photoshop?

i seriously considered added a 2nd gen t/a shaker to my 85 camaro when i had the car. to the point got the t/a shaker. it fit well. just needed to get a flat hood to cut since the car had a iroc hood that i didnt want to cut. never did do it. decided to sell the car first. still got the shaker sitting around somewhere for whatever

Third Gen Shaker TPI?!?! :hail: :hail: :hail: :hail:

on a carb, yes. On TPI, no way. Would look goofy.

i think goofy is an understatement

Someone here has an old shaker that he turned around backwards, so it is basically an air intake.

Now, that would work with TPI, and it DOES look good, if you see the picture it makes sense.

I found this pic on the net a while ago, if i had a carbed firebird or t/a i'd do it.
it looks pretty sweet.

Looks pretty sweet. If anyone has a camaro pic that would be awsome.

I saw the girl in the first pic... I was more looking at her about to push her door into the TA tho! ...Is that a bad thing?

now THAT's an enthusiast

I put a shaker on my 87 Firebird at one point its off now I liked it but the rain killed me every time LOL anyway heres the link if you wanna see, also i turned it backwards to make it a ram air it was functional.

PS the pink strips are gone now LOL my car has seen alot of changes over the years I did that about 15 years ago i think.

The Mach 1 has it, and that uses EFI. It could be made to work, you would have to make a 180* elbow set up, much like on the ram air LT1 4th gens, and then mount the shaker to that. They also make a shaker hood for F150's and there was a "concept" 4th gen trans am that was all white with a blue shaker scoop.

What is an L88 hood, is that from a second gen ?

L88 is the infamous 427 big block in the late '60's vettes, they had hoods like so.

Hi guys!
High Performance Pontiac did a story about that '91 or '92 Firebird with the Sport Appearance Package, that also had the hood scoop! Beautiful job! I can't remember which issue, so sorry!
Also, many many years ago, Ken of the old H.O. Racing (big west coast Pontiac tuner/speed shop for Pontiac), got a fiberglass stock firebird hood, cut a scoop hole in it, and dropped in an early ('73-'76 Trans Am) hood scoop, on his 1983 red Trans Am. This car was also on the cover of one of the 4 Camaro/Firebird magazines by one of the big car mags out there. He ended up selling the hood and scoop assembly by itself. I wish I had bought it! It looked really "cool"!
So.........................who needs a Trans Am hood scoop for their project????

Later,

George
