My 3.slow recently decided to blow the head gasket and crack the heads, so i am going to do a 3.4l swap.
i think i might have an engine lined up already
What i was wondering is this. I know you need at least a 2" body lift to clear it, and i have a 3" that i would really like to take off... some trails are pretty scary with my 7" of lift haha plus i like the look of a 4" suspension with 35's
how hard would it be to make a hood scoop? how much do you guys think one would cost?
any thoughts or input would be great
and yes, i know how to use the search button. there wasnt much on this at all so dont tell me to just search

 

this was my $8 fix for not having a body lift... its kidna ghetto but it works for now until i make a hood scoop.

 

This is the one I'm running after my swap. Personally, I would have liked something smaller, but it does blend in well (it comes molded in black and my hood is dark gray).

There are a ton of choices on eBay.

 

I ave a similar setup as tofer- but much less of a standoff in- about 3/8". littl trick, ground down the front of the intake mani a hair- just on the front edge because that is where the interference fit is. I didnt want to go hood scoop because its non functional and i would just end up with more debri in the engine bay. If you want the look of a hood scoop just slap one on and do a simple cut out for clearance- doesnt all that much matter cause it isnt functional anyway. I'd go with a six pack scoop from a 70 plymouth GTX (im a mopar street guy)- while you're at it, put the 440 from one in there!! jk. Good luck.

 

My hood clears with a 1" body lift. A couple spots rub on the insulator beneath the hood, but when I replace it with a new one I'll cut windows at those rub points.

 

Here is what I'm getting for mine.

I don't have a body lift or hood scoop

I have a couple dents in my hood and it clears good! lol ill have to cut off the bracing though sicne its rubbing a little.

 

Nice Rob, I think I'm going that route! 904, did you reuse the old motor mounts from your 3.0, or didja buy brand new ones?

 

I used my old ones, the only reason I would see replacing them is if they are worn out.
