Hello, here's some more mad mods i have been up to. Not sure if this is right place to post so it need to move to exterior it ok. The hood is modded to remove heat from under it through the louvers. I started with a 2" reaised cowl hood, got it off Ebay for 326.00 shipped. It's a metal hood, I also bought the louver off ebay for 40.00. I cut the hood and fit the louvers in it, I need to get to a body shop for paint. I will be painting hood white and leave the louvers black. I will update the pictures when I finish.:ford:
You'll want the leading edge on the louvers as lipped as possible since you need to create a low pressure area over the louvers to pull air out from the higher pressure area under the hood.
This is a extreme example of the above, but is the clearest way i can show you what i am talking about.
I will be taking the hood to get it painted this week, I have falling behind with the the truck crapping a engine and all the other stuff. I will take pictures of it when I get it back.
