Default Re: Should I Day 2 my Chevelle

Not that my car is the epidome of Day 2, but here are some things I was going about 1991/2.

The Pink here is residual influence form the 1980's. Tires were 225/70R15 because that is what my dad brought home out of a used tire pile from the dealership. The rears were a 265/60/15 Bias Belted tire.




Here are my ladder bars and "customized" finned 12 bolt cover.



As much as that Cowl hood is cool on that Chevelle Tracy, it kinda sticks out as a departure from a 1960's vibe. I've seen little Pontiac or generic type scoups, Ford Tunerbolt, Corvette Stinger hoods all done in back-in-the-day but never a Cowl hood. It was pretty common just to jack the back of the hood up as you can see in this picture at Atco. That is what I do.

I would say 68 to 71 era. But again, I'm not that big on everything being dead on. In other words I'm not going to change my Spal fans and fabbed shroud.
The hood is a must have with the intake I am running at the present time. The HVH made 704 h.p. and the much shorter Performer RPM was 38 h.p. less.
But I don't really care about that stuff anymore. I should be able to go back to a flat hood with the C454 intake.
The attached picture is when I had the RPM intake installed. I took a stock Camaro air cleaner and modified it to a dual snorkle. Everything fit under the stock hood, but I had a Pro Systems 4150 carb. at that time.
BTW..the cowl hood is all steel. I made the scoop out of 18 gauge steel.
