may be picking up an 82 GT hood scoop

Finally found one (Ford part)... Well I didn't see it, I went to an auto show (car part market) and talked to a guy who seemed to have some rare Mustang parts such as T-tops and whatever. So he tells me he has a scoop at home (about 40 minutes from me). I will call him today and I will go pick it up this week.

If it works out, I want to make it functional. I've done this before on my carb'd Mustang but EFI causes some challenges. I figure I'd start with a flat piece of wood over the intake and put some clay on the edges and close the hood. That will give me a shape to start with. (for the upper of my air box). Then I'd shape a lower part to form around the intake. Then run some piping from the stock airbox to the new "ram air" box that will be over the intake sucking air from over the hood. I guess I could insulate the intake from the air box with something. The airbox would be made from fiberglass.

Or a simpler thing would be to make it like the stormin norman (sp?) ram air hood with just some fiberglass under the hood itself to pipe the colder air to the air filter.

Not sure if this would be worth the effort since I have the fender style CAI on the car already but the 100% custom ram air setup would be a good head turner. It would be a lot like the new shaker scoop.

OR just install the scoop with the hole facing the windshield and make it a simple heat extractor...

I didn't have any probs with rain water when I opened the front of the scoop. You can put a lip (I think the factory hood has a lip) so the water won't flow up the hood and into the engine bay. Besides with what I would like to do, a water collector wouldn't be hard to do.

I think they look cool on the areo-nose too...

My first Mustang


I had a bigger air filter on there at one point so I could see the filter from outside the hood, I don't remember why I put a small one back on there? I think it was from all the damn bugs that get stuck on the filter...

nope, they only had an extra sticker
