has anyone ever tried to make a shaker hood out of their stock firebird/ta hood. i was thinking about getting a stock hood about $30 from a friends yard and a shaker scoop from a 70's TA from ebay, then getting the deminsions and cutting a hole for it. i know it wouldnt be an air intake but it may help keep the motor alittle cooler and look pretty sweet too. what do you guys think would it work, would it look good, has anyone else done this?

 

I'm sure it wouldn't be all that difficult, if I had a TA rather than a Camaro I think I would give it a try.

Can always buy a new hood if things go south.

 

im not even worried about the hood i can get it for $30 at a friends yard the only thing i wanna figure out is how to attach it to the motor so i get a little "shaker action" lol

 

id say eithe buy an SS intake for the functional hood and mount it on there securely i know that thing shakes alot. or i would say bolt it directly to the bolts on the manifold itself with some kind of insulator in between the shaker and the manifold

 

gotta run but the big thing is OPTI SPARK geting wet! thats why its not done...will give more info on it later
