240zttv8 Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Does anyone have a hood scoop for the inline 6 motor with the 4 barrel conversion? I thought maybe something similar to the Turbo Trans Am. But needs to be high enough and wide enough to clear a 10-12 inch air filter. Any ideas on what would look good? Thanks for your input!

texis30O Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 My carb fits fine under the hood.......you might want to look for a turbo type of scoop to be less obtrusive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BQR280Z Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 I had the same problem, and because Z's have the high underhood heat reputation, I added a 1" phenolic spacer and a .5" NOS spraybar. I looked at everything I could think of in the way of hood scoops. They all offered clearance down the middle of the hood but nothing where I really needed it. My fix was to cut the original hood 4" from both sides and the rear and lift the center section 2.5" at the rear. I welded 1/8" rod around the raw edges and grated the openings. This fix kept the Z lines and actually completely solved the Z overheating concerns. Airflow through the hood is amazing and really helped to stabilize the car at speed. My .02 worth.
