thats the scoop off of an '85 Capri RS, would look ok if he modified it to sit right.  I am molding my replica TC scoops into my cowl hood right now.
I'll be the first one with a TC scooped cowl :hick:


Ive been thinking of taking a TC hood and cutting the center raised section an raising it 1 1/2 inches or so.

I could have made a cowl out of a TC hood but I didn't want to hack up a perfectly good TC hood for that, when you can make them yourself.

I have one of those to put on the cougar to give clearance for the intake. I have just enough room to close the hood on the engine because of the intake.

That's what I was thinking it was. I remember when I was a kid a neighbour had a roots blown 454 in a Vega with one of those sitting all nice and pretty atop the mountain he called an engine. He ended up twisting the car all to hell from doing wheelies in the local mall parking lot (guess subframe connectors woulda been a good idea). That car was hawtness - it looked like a Krass & Bernie cartoon itself. I think there was just enough room between the rear slicks to fit a driveshaft.

Hmm... I have a perfectly good flat hood lying around... Maybe if I go with the 351 and need an excuse to cut a hole in it...

, you guys have got to stop putting ideas in my head.

I was searching and stumbled into this so I thought I would throw one out for opinuons. I do like the TC scoops on the cowl hood though. Sorry the pics so small , but it was only one I have and now Crites doesn't have a pic on their website even they still list the hood.
