Awesome video! That guy is great - been watching a lot of his stuff too, but haven’t seen that one.

Pulled a pic off of SLOW71. He’s got the earlier style hood that looks like it was made for louvers. I count 31 on each side…

Later hoods have the two tiered rise in the center with some factory louvering on the rear. You could make two strips along the flats on each side, or a couple of successions of louvers going up the raised areas more inbound.(?)
Maybe not even necessary, but everyone says “if you’re running an LS, you gotta have AIRFLOW”.

I ran an LS engine on my pig and just removed a few of the cross bars to reduce restriction and never felt like I needed more air flow.

Kind of tell form this angle..

BTW, just uploaded an updated engine start and run video. The tuner (Michael) came over and worked out a kink in the programming maybe 2 weeks or so before the river trip.

When I finally get the 69 back to swap to the 76 chassis Delancy built I’ve definitely got concerns how best to deal with the hood. Wish louvers would solve clearance problem.

I admittedly know nothing about this subject but in 10 minutes of reading it seems that would be the worst place to put them; although IMHO they would look best there. It also seems, again from 10 minutes of "research", that they don't help much at all at speed so I assume you are concerned about idle and/or slow trail conditions?

Great to hear that engine run btw. Sounds killer!

Those along with AZ heat, stoplight traffic, Dutch Bros drive thru’s

That guy is just across the river from us here in the Valley, have not met him but did see a bunch of his handiwork at a car show last summer
