anybody sealed they're hood scoop to the carb?

[prodart340]

I've been thinking about sealing my six pack scoop down to the carb and this would involve making an air pan, including any additional supports if needed. Anybody done anything like this? Need some ideas,pics would be great. Thanks,Mike

i did it on my 73 cuda with aar hood. I used a big cookie plan and 4inch foam from summit. When you close the hood makes a good seal. The cookie pan had the nice rolled edge already

btw car is no where near done,so sorry for dirty underhood.. its in a lot of piece getting a redo

With an AAR hood .. dully noted!

 

[RustyRatRod]

Naw, I don't think anybody's ever done that before.

That's brilliant racerkilla. Love low-buck mods!....gonna sneak a cookie pan into the garage tomorrow while me and the kids are making Christman goodies.

Motor is on steel mounts. hood is tight to housing. It is light. I had this set up like this with a thicker rubber seal on the hood. I Had to remove the seal when I went with the Indy top end. It now seals with a thin rubber.

[racerkilla]

You mean the 354 covers over the small block ones.. lol, gets people all the time in the shop that look at it. It is a good running 340 though

 

[daredevil]

Dizzy in the back gave it up.Cool though.

 

[racerkilla]

shhh its one of those special small block hemi's you hear about at gas stations or car shows..haha I had a thread somewhere on here with with those valve covers

 

[Old Tired Rebel]

Great thread.

here is mine...

you want at least 2" all the way around the air cleaner for air flow...

also dont run to small an air cleaner as it greatly slows you down!

even when my 14x4" was brand new i still was able to up another jet with it off...

All Hemis had dizzy in the back before the 426.

More pics of ram air setups, please!

I just hacked a hole in the hood of my 73 Swinger to clear the air cleaner, have a Cougar Eliminator scoop on the way and really want to seal things up and make it look good.

Thanks!

drill a few small drip holes at the rear of your pans so the rain you suck up doesn't HAVE to go down the carb.

Do the hood vents help? Heat extractors?

 

[Criscobath]

Saw this after a bit of web surfing.

Looks nice and professional. You can order different heights from 3" to 5".
