Here's my solution:



Also gives me enough room to put my strip dominator intake on.....go figure
Add to a flow through lid or fab up a box to seal against the underside and you are good to go [8D]

This is from an Aussie Commodore (GM) from about 1984. The plate shown acts as a scoop to pick cold air up from the grill, and force it into the carby. it has a seal arond the top edge to seal against the Hood inner. You need to use an open type aircleaner (ie HIPO).

 

Has anyone thought of a hood scoop yet? Maybe something like the shaker hood scoop... Plus i think one of the problems hooking a CAI directly up to the carb is the sharp 90 degree turn it has to take to get into the carb

 

I have the feeling that someone is going to work the bugs out of all this! I can't wait to see the results.[sm=goodidea.gif]

 

Now, there is a great idea. But, expensive and impractical because it would have to be removed to work on the car. You also have to somehow alter the hood to fit it in there it seems. Otherwise, how does the air get in?

 

We cant sit here and keep talking! im gonna get some cardboard and make a "prototype". What do you do if you have the design but cant fabricate it? Sell your idea?

 

You need to build a real prototype that actually works that is unlike any other, then apply for a patent. Big bucks could be made if you can get someone to actually mass produce them.

 

i have heard that turn signal hoods on 67-68 have the same cooling effects as the 03-04 cobras with the same reverse type vents. It has been debated for years that, the turn signal, do not have function, but just recently have heard from numerous people that that they do have function, and do help direct heat out of the engine. I dont know im just rambeling on again

 

The shaker hood (69-70) or the operational NASA hood (71-73) did exactly that cold air. I have a F250 Diesel that is my daily driver, and I built a homade cold air intake for it. For the mustangs I have seen something similar to the blue air cleaner posted only in black with less restrictive openings.

 

Help me understand why the cold air is so important? Some articles I have read say the engines wants warn sticky air. I assume this means is uses less fuel this way.
