Thanks guys for all the suggestions. If any body can post a few pics of the conversion from under the hood and top ,it would really help me fegure out how much needs to be cut from both hoods.:scratch:
Thanks again

My car with the hood is still buried in my backyard under a car cover and lots of snow. I'll make sure I clean her off tommorow and get you some pics.

TII scoop on 1st Gen = Fail
Spend the money and get a front mount even if it's only two FC topmounts welded together.

I haven't worked on it in prob 5 years. I *might* turn the scoop around...?

I've put more time into developing 1st gen hoods than probably any other person, the TII scoop is crap on a TII so why would it be any better on a
1st gen?
Look at the scoops on a GT40, rear facing and extracting hot air, not forward facing increasing drag and try to force cool air in.
It's not the 1980's anymore, frontmount IC's are affordable these days but by all means limit the hell out of your car and cheap out by using a topmount..

FIBREMAZ I hear what you're saying and I agree, I just like the way they look speacially with a widebody like the one I just bough. Thanks for the pics 85TllDEVIL I now have a good Idea of what I'll be getting into.
