3rd Gen hood scoop into 2nd Gen
Don't venture to the 3rd Gen part of YT very often.
Does anyone know whether or not one can cut out the hood scoop from a 3rd Gen 4Runner and splice it into a 2nd Gen?
I know that anything is possible, but how possible would this be? Are the hood shapes and profiles even remotely similar? Close enough to be feasible? I figure I'd cut out the 3rd Gen scoop maybe 4" all around and then blend it into the 2nd Gen hood.
I am needing some additional clearance for a 3.4 swap and have a line on a damaged 3rd Gen hood with scoop for basically free. Thought it would be pretty clean just to use one of the newer factory scoops.

I was going to do it when i did my engine swap, but I didnt end up needing the extra clearance the scoop provides. I still have the cut up sport edition hood in my garage. LOL

Since that's working for now... I haven't looked into a scoop much more, but probably will one day.
