I went as large as the scoop to help under hood temps running manifolds,less ramair stacking up trying to rip scoop off. so far it has been 115 mph for 5 miles with out blowing off. I do need to get my 2 alum support post installed in the opening. it does shake around at speed but very little. what a hole! what a hole! 7780626-hood#2.jpg (461 downloads)

Just use a file to make your round hole square to accept the under head of the bolt. Then you can use a plastic sleeve (or metal)for the bolt to go through to support the scoop underneath so when you tighten it down, it doesn't suck the center of the scoop down like you have.

I've got plans kickin' around in my head to build a similar truck in the future and I know most Mopar guys don't like 'em, but I'm going to build my own steel cowl hood. I'll actually use the original hood skin as the top of the cowl in hopes of keeping that factory center body line.

Maybe just run with the hood wide open and use some cable to hold it there. Yes, it's a little big. Whatever turns your crank though, . I am of the opinion hood scoops don't belong on trucks except for one: the SRT Ram. Let 'er rip, you'll turn some heads! Mo' Farts Moderated by "tbagger".

Its a nice chrome air cleaner with two snorkels with tubes connected to the air source, I put a 4 inch hole in the radiator support on the left side added a screen and now it pulls fresh air from behind the grille on the other side rather than make another hole and be close to the battery I just connected to the factory air intake box which pulls fresh air from under the turn signal. 8020627-IMG_0235.JPG (112 downloads) Last edited by 11secdart; 01/31/14 11:19 PM. 68 Dart 410 / 904 92 D150 original owner 21 Ram 1500 Quad Cab, Big Horn , Hemi ,4x4 23 Audi Q5 16 Honda HRV
