What are you after exactly? A cowl hood scoop? The air filter assembly that built to seal to it? I'm trying to put together parts to fit to cowl hood that I recently purchased but as many will point out, it's not a simple task.

When my buddy and I installed a Holley Stealth Ram on my zz4 crate in my third gen the original louver hood wouldn't fit. Found a donor louvered hood and my buddy made it into a cowl, tedious work but if you take your time it will come out great!

Have you seen this thread? It was the only I could find that was about making your own hood. Hope it helps.
