Drag79stang's new hood

It's advertised as a 4" cowl. It measures 6" along the high side, tho. Fits really good. I highly recommend Glasstek. They're out of Naperville, Il. (630) 978-9897.
Nice guys to deal with. FYI, they said right now is their slow time, usually takes 4-5 weeks to get stuff, well, right now around 2 weeks.
I can hardly wait to get it painted/striped. I'm in the process of drilling the holes, etc, for the hood pins.

And, thanks again, Dark!!!!!!!!!

cool hood, it looks like it belongs on a F-16. maybe bin laden should look out for you too.

That oughta get their attention!!

You'll have to change your name to: Drag79stang-The Intimidator/Predator/Dominator. Looks pretty bad ass. Since it now looks like an 8 second car, you'll have to run some serious numbers to back up the awesome looks

Really looks GOOD!! How do you see over it??

You must have $500.00 worth of K&N's under it!!

Look forward to seeing it when you finish it!!

N20 Mike. I'm running a Hal crossmember, (don't know if that dropped it at all in the cradle, but kinda looked lower), I"m running HPM dropped mounts, (drop it 3/4"). With the super vic, and a 1" wood spacer, I have a drop base K&N air filter, and a 4" filter. I JUST clear the front of the cowl induction hood, by about 1/4". And, that's with just the intake sitting on the block. I'm sure I"m going to lose a little more with the heads and gaskets in place. (at least 1/4").
There's no way a 2.5" cowl will clear unless he doesn't run an air cleaner, /and spacer.
When I ordered this hood, remember, I had that teardrop scoop on there? It hit in the back. That had 4" of clearance inside it.
This cowl measures (measures), 6" in the rear. If it measured 4", it wouldn't fit my application. (don't have a clue how the hood companies or where they measure, but this one fits very nicely.
Good luck on your friends 2.5"!!

I found that on my car with a scoop, and no air pan sealing the carb to the scoop, it is actually slower than if the scoop wasnt there. The air gets disrupted so badly from what is coming in thru the radiator and trying to get out the scoop hole, and what is trying to come in the scoop hole, that it really messe the carb's signal up (too much turbulence right around the carb). Plus, it takes power to push that big scoop thru the air. What you might lose in HP, you gain in aerodynamic effeicency with the cowl induction hood. Try hanging onto a bucket with a small hole in the end of it at 50 mph. Then imagine that at 120.

I really like my cowl induction hood. And with the carb not being sealed to the hood, it gets the same quality air all the time. I think it helps consistency.

But then again, maybe I'm just babbling now and really have no clue as to what I'm saying
