427 and hood scoop elimination...
Hi All:
OK..., call me lazy. I realize a few simple measurements would sorta answer the question... As part of a general OH and upgrade, I've gone from an old 390 Edelbrock intake to a Performer RPM. Owing to the somewhat unusual degree to which the engine has been moved rearwards in the car, I've always had difficulty finding decent air-cleaner/carb combos. I.e., nothing really ever fit w/ the hole/scoop as are presently arranged on the hood. So, naturally, I make the situation worse by going with the Performer..., figuring: "Hey..., I gotta fix the hood anyway!". One option that I wish were possible would be to eliminate the scoop altogether, and go with some sort of plenum + remote air filter arrangement. Again, I realize it may be a lost cause..., but... Does anybody have any pictures and/or suggestions involving 427 installations w/ no hood scoop? My alternative is gonna be to rework the hood somewhat, and incorporate a modified scoop. ??? -- proudlakester |
While it doesn't look anything like an original, one of these should work. They come smooth, flames engraved, etc. on ebay. With a flat one you can add your own logo on top. I put one of the "427" Thunderbird fender badges on mine. Use your imagination.
This K&N filter fits with just a little persuasion, and the unit flows good enough for 650 hp. Dan |
