I feel pretty dumb asking this but I am gona ask it anyways....
I really dig the SS hood.Everywhere I look I can't seem to find a functional one.I also cant seem to find any pics of the underside of the hood to see if it would be possiable to cut the hood, and, er...MAKE it functional.
Just wondering if anyone could help me.I apologize in advance for asking such a dumb question.

 

not that hard to make it functional

 

Cut it out. I cut a few big holes in mine with a drill bit.

 

I cut the front of mine with a dremel,and with a 1" spacer under the carb,it puts the air cleaner directly in line with the hood grill.I'm not sure what benefit it has
but it must have some effect.

 

Cool thanks guys.Just didnt really want to buy it if there was no way to make it functional.Anybody got pics?

 

I think some people have made a airbox that seals to the carb,for the ss hood.Do a search on ss hood,and you might find it.

Cheers,
Alicat.

 

For the fuel injection guys...it's pretty much not an option at all to make the SS hood functional for true "Ram Air". The front of the hood comes nowhere close to the intake...and absolutely no room for any type of airbox. As for carb...it might be different.

 

For the TPI Guys.*

My SS hood works perfectly with my TBI + Open element.

 

The American Sports Car Design's hood was functional to begin with. Mine is, and it works well with the TBI/Open element for my car. I don't know if they're in business anymore or not, though. Might be able to find one.

 

american sports car design has a great ss hood thats functional. works with tpi or element . i ordered one not to long ago . you also cant beat their price it comes out to 560total.

 

Mine, was already cut open and fully finished from the underside. Got it for $440 shipped!
