Im looking for a nice looking functional hood scoop for my 86 pickup. I have a buick 3800 under the hood, and im just looking for some additional cooling for it. If anybody has pictures and links of what you run, that would be awsome! I know not a lot of people run them, but im sure a few of you have em

There is a good start

 

I dont think that does anythnig for airflow, just looks...and it doesnt look so good

 

If you are into fab work, maybe you could do something custom. Other than that, you might be SOL, but not completely.

 

yea, not real big into fab work. See, I run the BUICK 3800 with a holley carb and the intake sits right ontop of that. Im looking for a nice scoop that will put air right into the intake. I guess im gonna have to do a custom deal here...

 

I cut a 16" hole in my hood and let the aircleaner stick thru. I didn't have any clearance under the hood, and always used a dropped aircleaner, but the last motor I built I added a 1" spacer under the carb and it wouldn't fit without a bodylift. I wanted to make a hoodscoop for it, but it works pretty well, lets out lots of heat, rain dosen't bother it, and it looks pretty good (I allways liked "Shaker hoods").

 

pictures?^

 

What about a set of these.

I don't have to remind you about why these things are junk, do I? Tell me, what's wrong with this picture?

 

Uhmmmm.... is it that the chick should be way skinnier if they are trying to distract potential buyers from not realizing there is no reason to vent a hood if your engine is in the back.

 

Now that's funny!

 

What's wrong with keeping the luggage cool? Maybe they keep the beer cooler in there too.

 

thats the limited edition, with the engine in the front haha. Ah man...Ide even like a cowl induction...That would be best

 

with the engine you have a cowl would serve some purpose. Molded in right it would look pretty good. Just a thought

 

ill take a pic of my friends s10, hes got a scoop thats riveted or screwed on, cant remember, but then he cut a hole in his hood under it, so its functional.

 

does it look hald decent though? Granted my trucks no beauty truck, but I like it to look HALF WAY respectable. I think a cowl hood would look badass on the truck. Does someone want to photoshop a 3 inch cowl hood onto my truck? Heres two pictures I THINK would work for the photochop

 

The hotrod/drag industry is about the only place to look. http://www.eharwood.com/catalog/scoops.php

 

wich one of them do you think would look best on my hood?

 

You might also take a look here too. I know nothing about them I just tripped onto the site in my searching...
