The 10" Torpedo hood? You can't really drive that on the street. I don't think its technically illegal, but you won't be able to see anything, like curbs. I have enough trouble with my 4" standard cowl. Granted, I'm short.

Beyond that, I think I have pictures of at least 2 80's birds with that particular style hood. Seems to me you have an MN-12 though and it looks like they don't offer the torpedo for your car. There are however many other sites that have hoods for the MN-12.

They should make the GT-41 Style for our cars.

Wrong hood Romeo...That's the Torpedo.

But I'm not sure the GT-41 hood fits with our cars, seems a little edgy.

I am cheating, just going to bolt on a 87/88 turbo cope hood... relativly cheap and not too hard to find....

with that torpedo hood... right hand turns would be a pain... and forbid if a "smart car was at you right fender!!

unless you have a 460 with a tunnel ram or 6-71, that hood is gay....

and then if you have either of those you want it sticking out anyways....
Title: yeah it is kinda gay

I have to say I agree.  Sorry man.

Remind me Pegasus, what are the specs on your car?  It looks mean with the drag slicks.

I got mine from them as well, only it was thier other site, usbody.com . Mine is the Dominater 3" cowl. It's a nice hood but mine took a good bit of work to get it right.

Why Not try something a little different and all Ford, not 80's Prostock. Use the T-Bolt scoop on a flat hood or a 1982 Mustang GT scoop on the flat hood, cowls belong on a chevrolet and nothing else.

Post by: jrad235 on January 29, 2010, 12:18:00 AM
Not sure if the t-bolt scoops really work on our cars, but the 82 GT scoop is useless! I don't know about the rest of you, but the only reason I have one is because I need the clearance, so 80's prostock it is.

the engine in it now is a 302 with a e-cam and 1.7 roller rockers and some ported E7s Im using a C4 with a 3000-3500 tci converter on a step 2 with roll control the rear end in a ford 9in with 4:56 the int is stripped. it ran 12.90's in a 3350 lb car on street ET's w3.55's


sitting in the shop is 351W with 69 heads and a cardbord box full of goodies from ohio crankshaft that i bought from a puppies shop. and a oil filled coffee can full of frpp 1.6 roller rockers and a dual shot cheater Kit also picked up used

I have about 1,000 in the 351 but it still needs to hit the machine shop

I agree. I like that hood. But I may settle for a stock style with something added to it. :evilgrin: 
I also want to get the glass trunk lid.

It's like a soul patch for the front of your car.  I'll give you a $1.00 to paint it that way.

Thanks man it is pretty bad ! Its not really twisting if you watch the video . I have subframe connectors welded in . There is also an air bag in the right side coil that I need to put about 2 or 3 more lbs in . She runs real straight off the line .
I also have eibach springs all around and maximum motorsport control arms in the rear and the list goes on .

Very nice pass!  My wife would like that color a lot more; she complains that there are too many all black cars and it hard to tell when mine comes up for a run.
