Hood compatability?

Can I slap a Cowl Induction hood on my 1991 Firebird? From what I know I was sure I could, but then someone told me that no I couldn't. Thing is, a ram air hood would look great, but so would a cowl hood and I believe the cowl hoods work better for lowering engine compartment temperature. So can i?

If the hood is made for your car in this case a firebird then you can put any hood on that you want.

I thought the cowls were made for camaros mostly, and i figured i could buy a camaro one (1991 or 1992) and fit it on my 1991 pontiac.

cowel hood? Are you referring to the power buldge hood offered on the 82-84 T/A and the 87-92 Formula then yes it will fit...

But as stated before a Camaro hood will NOT fit a firebird or vise verse UNLESS you swapped the whole front clip (aka doghouse)
