I'm thinking about doing a hood scoop for an intercooler I'm installing with my diesel conversion and need your help with some ideas and a visual of what it might look like for real. If any of you have installed a hood scoop on your 60 post up a picture. Thanks for the help.

Tapage has a hood scoop on his ride, among other cool tricks.

Look at Tapage's 60 Soft Top thread and look at his hood scoop. It's sweet.

I'm pretty sure an top mounted intercooler ( as my setup ) it's pretty useless at low speeds .. but over 50 - 60 mhp things coming diferent ( that it's exactly when I need it ) so the aire flow come from at those speeds it pretty nice.
Other option to make your intercooler more functional at low speed are the electric fans that come factory in RD2.8 RZ 30 nissan engines or 4M40 Mitsu engines .. that ekeep top mounted intercoolers with electric fans.
My Quattro's intercooler is next to the radiator. I guess there's not enough room in front of the 60's radiator to put one up there.
What about a liquid-to-air intercooler?

I put this one on 'cause the K&N air cleaner assembly is poking through the hood.

Liquid / air intercooler are more eficient at low speed coz you can keep a constant temp range to drop down the aire temp that pass throught the water/intercooler.
