So I’ve got an 80 series with a 350 small block Chevy in it, I’m about 98% done with the project but I still haven’t figured out what I want to do with the hood. The top of the air filter sits about an inch above the fenders so I’ll need to cut a space in the hood. I should preference that my 80 gets used and abused, it’s not a looker it’s a doer, that being said mad max vibes are welcome. What im stuck with is that I don’t want to have a normal scoop as if I do put one on and end up fording a river or have to deal with any precipitation it’ll send water right into the intake, so that’s almost certainly a no go. A cowl would be a decent option but I haven’t seen any designed that I like since it all starts at the front of the hood and ends at the rear, also almost all seem to be fiberglass and that won’t be happy offroad I imagine. As I type this I realize that I could put a scoop on the intake it’s self and mount it backwards and just have it stick out the hood but that’s just another option. Either way if y’all got some ideas feel free to leave a message. All ideas are welcome.
