So what is the theory behind that gt40 scoop anyway? Presume it draughts the air straight out after passing through the radiator, but won't the engine bay itself get a bit hot? I thought these cobras originally suffered heating problems brought on from a small nose and large engine, (well larger than originally anticipated) so dragging the airflow out before it reaches the engine seems wrong to me.

Anyone - feel free to educate me!

Hi guye, sorry about late and mixed replies, theory behind GT40 scoop I would be using the cobra at HWY speeds and traffic so the more air through the radiator the better, and there is enough venting to tap into and fit ducting in and around shroud I don't think it would be an issue, Craig is working it out and I know his standards, some pics with the front vents, thx for you interest and comments.

Regards,
