Very Nice! I'm really digging the T/A heat exchangers..very very nice! I have a question, How do you attach the scoop to the hood, No one makes a cowl induction hood for my Caprice, so last year I bought a scoop like this one, and I'm not sure how I should mate it to the hood. I 've been told that filler will fall out of it because of the huge camshaft shaking it all the time, any advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated, I don't want it to come apart after I paint it. And I heard a good epoxy would be the way to go....any part numbers?

well my scoop we(my dad and i) made it out of fiberglass so it might be different from your scoop but this is whatwe did:
first you get the scoop all positioned and everything
then drill many holes around the outside of the scoop roughly 20 or so
your going to need screws to fill these holes a little later
then put a layer of bondo (filler) underneath the edges of the scoop
then quickly grab your screws and screw the scoop down to the hood which positions the scoop tightly to the hood and also compresses the bondo down as well
once its fairly dry take the screws out because if u leave them in there they will expand and contract causing cracks in your scoop.
then put a layer of fiberglass that goes along the edge of the scoop which gives it extra strength
then just grind down the edges of the scoop to mate with your hood and your basically good to go
the hoods going to be reverse opening as well which should look really great.

and as far as the vibrations go it wont be a problem.
my dad says hes put scoops on 1000 horsepower cars and the vibrations wont effect the bondo as long as you do it this way
so you shouldn't have a problem.
it wasnt too difficult so just follow the steps

thanks for the compliments guys i will keep you updated and show you them when they are painted
