Some of you may have already seen these already at the "other" site - sorry for the repost if so.

These were fresh after paint Eric:

The car is further along now, I just don't have any updated pics here with me at work :-\

Very, very nice....but...DAMN that is one huge hood scoop......IIRC you have a tunnel ram going underneath it?

70_Fastback · « **Reply #2 on:** August, 26, 2008, 06:10:14 AM »

There was a tunnal ram. I had to nix it - couldn't fit an air cleaner assembly in there - believe it or not with my gynormous scoop.

I swapped back to a single 4 high-rise intake, with a butterflied street scoop (yeah, I like those) and it sits perfectly up in the scoop so you can clearly see it. Worked out nice.

And since when does Size matter...? ::)

Plus I wanted to be different too

Out of curiousity, have you installed and sat behind this hood yet? I'm curious if you'll be able to see everything.... little things, like for instance a stoplight changing from Red to Green while you're sitting at a light....

Damn that's a BIG scoop!

.... I like it though! I just hope you can see around it well enough to drive.

Oh yes, that was a concern initially. It has been installed, tested and driven by me. I can see fine - but I do sit up very high as well - I'm 6'-5", so it's not an issue for me. But if the GF drives it, it may be a problem. Good call on that Dave.

Sharp as hell, man. I love it, can't wait to see it done. Goin with a spoiler, I see, how about louvres? And if you have a SBF, are you interested in a dual duad setup for it? Know a guy getting rid of one, he has the intake and one of the carbs for it, brand new. 500 cfm IIRC.

Gorgeous car, though.

I've got a stout 347 stroker already done and in it. I have a tunnel ram for it and also a Offy dual 2x4 low-rise intake for it, just going to use my single plane high rise 4-barrel for now with my Holley 4010 mech secondary 750 DP.

Waffles · « **Reply #8 on:** August, 26, 2008, 06:58:58 AM »

Sounds like a hell of a setup.

On a side note, anyone know how much taller certain intakes are for windsors? I have the performer, and wanna upgrade, BUT i have a shaker so it is directly affected by intake manifold height... are certain intakes considerably taller than others?

70_Fastback · « **Reply #9 on:** August, 26, 2008, 07:02:26 AM »

Oh, and no - no louvers for me. I have something else in mind already planned out...

I hope by "something else" you mean this.

Those are some mad wood working skeeelz. Throw some lacquer on there and he is good for a lifetime.

Very nice pics. I suggest you put a screen inside the scoop otherwise you'll be sucking down a few birds with that nasty looking hood.

Starfury · « **Reply #13 on:** August, 26, 2008, 11:14:24 AM »

Ya know, I think the scoop should be a little bigger....;)

Do you know what setup this is? I am toying with the dual quad setup for the stroker.

Don't listen to these nancy-boys! That scoop is wicked. If I had to change anything about it
I'd make it about a half inch taller.

Just make sure there are no infants playin in the street when you open up the throttle ;D
