Would a Ram Jet fit under a stock hood?

 

it would be close...it looks abotu the same size as the HSR...I would get a 2.5 or 3 inch cowl just to be sure...

 

Thanks thats the problem on this end I want my car to look stock on the out side until you open up the hood. If I have to go with a non stock hood then I will keep the HSR & just try to rebuild my engine or get a ZZ4 & transfer the HSR on to it.

 

From what I've heard, you must cut out some of the hood's cross-bracing to get the ram jet fuel injection unit to fit nicely when the hood is closed.

GM shows a yellow RamJet 3rd gen Camaro at different meets and they have the stock hood on it, so it can be done.

 

I dont think that would work on my car since the car is a dragracer. You start cutting away cross bracing & they dont allow you to race it.

 

I wouldn't think that hood mods would make much difference to the NHRA. It doesn't affect the strength of the car as a whole. If so, just find a fibreglass factory hood and race it that way. It will still be totally stock

 

GM has a 3rd gen Camaro with a Ram Jet motor they use for promotional stuff. It uses a stock hood. GMHTP ran a feature on it a year or so ago.

 

Same here. The GM yellow car had one with a flat rs hood and I don't remember any pics of a hacked up hood.

Goodluck! My plan one day was also a ramjet...ah well

 

wow thats the first time i've seen that GM yellow third gen..that thing is absolutely amazing...kinda makes me wanna paint my car yellow...everything is perfect on that car, WOOOW

 

Well I dont need to worry about it any more just found out today my stock block is good so we are going to get the bottom end redone & have it bore .010 over & cleaned & then finish it up.
