Default Possible ways to Get More Air into the Engine Bay

Anybody do any mods to get any more air into the engine bay to help cool down the motor some or just get some more air for your intake? Im looking to do both, im ordering a new intake with a heatshield, looking to get some more air flowing to cool down the motor a tad and all in all get more cooler air into my Cold Air Intake, Anyone do any cutting out of anything or etc?

You could remove the hood, fenders, grille, etc, that should help you get more air into there

i have a 85 k 10 and i just put in a 350 and it has a raised 4" body lift so on the shroud i put a pc of 3/4 plywood to fit the shape just above the blade tips to kinda box it in more and make it draw more air in threw the radiator and then on the engine.i also put in a 180 degree thermastat and in my 89 rs camaro i put in a sbc 350 as well but i put a electric fan and a 160 degree thermastat but i dont know how the camaro will heat this winter i may have to go to a 180 ot 190 in the winter or a pc of cardboard in front of the radiator should do the trick. in my blazer i also put a electric fan from the local junkyard when i am in heavy traffic as a secondary cooling and i have used it when it was 94 oat or outside air temp and it works great.i removed the condensor for my a/c also.that helped alot.
goodluck.ben512v
