Cowl Induction Hood on Street Car?

Fostang · 04-17-2001, 02:50 PM

Is it a good idea to have a cowl induction hood on a car that see's the outdoor elements on a daily basis? Will leaves or water fall into the engine compartment? Just wondering because I'm thinking of buying a hood like this for the 67'.

I don't think it will be a problem, I have the cowl hood on my 66'. Just clean the stuff out when you see it. Give you a chance to admire your engine more. The biggest issue is finding a quality hood, I have the Mier Racing hood, and I dont reecomend it.

Try www.up22.com Have one of their cowl hoods on my 65, and getting a 6 inch cowl for my 68. Not bad pricing either.

COBRA66 you probably have seen my fastback. Just about everyday I'm in the Delta College vicinity. As a mater of fact someone at delta college decided to add some art of their own on my car. I haven't seen a 66' with a cowl induction hood around. Except for the bramlet kid's.

My stang hasn't been on the road since october. It went into hybernation for the winter, and is going to stay there until my new engine goes in, some time this summer.
