I've always loved shakers since I first saw the barracuda's one. Is it hard to get one on a maverick? I found a few places I can order one from....
Well, was told by another mav'er that putting the opening towards the window will work better on the fuel milage and performance. Besides, why be like everyone else? lol
AWESOME!!! That mailbox needs the door so when you give some throttle it flips down to catch some air!
I like twins Always wanted two scoops if I couldn't have a Grabber hood. These came from a 65 or so Fairlane.
i know this is an old thread...but its the best hood scoop thread i found on here but how would a trans am shaker hood scoop look on a maverick...but mounted reversed so the hole is in the front and curves off in the rear like a typical scoop or possibably a buick stage 2 scoop? i'm digging the mopar demon scoop though the comet scoop is aight..just wish is a a tad taller..its more sleek then agressive..
Two comments: *The Comet scoop is like the Boss 429 scoop in a lot of ways. If you like the Comet scoop, but want it tall and aggressive, then you just described the Boss 429 scoop perfectly. *The Demon scoop is tall, aggressive, and sleek at the same time. It sets up 5" tall over the hood at the front. However, if you are looking for 'real' added hood clearance, it doesn't add as much as it would seem. Over the carb, with the hood cut, it only adds an inch or so clearance. Just a heads up, in case you are looking for a scoop with serious clearance.
naw just for looks, car still has the 250 i6 and will eventualy get a mild 302 just all these cars with 2 headlights look "cute" and not "mean" needs a scoop to copensate
I noticed the B429 scoop I linked to is gone. Here are a couple. The original was 3.75" tall. Nowadays you can get the aftermarkets in shorter or much taller versions as well.
het ratio, do you have any of pics with the scoop...different angles though...such as direct side and front? do you have the grill and bumper on that thing as of yet?
On the 75? No. The car is still stored up in the back of my business shop. The economy here is terrible, I can't even maintain my Sprint like it deserves. The 75, while not deteriorating anymore, has not recieved any attention. It is actually in a better situation than my Sprint, because it is indoors. I would love to find a new owner for the Sprint. That way it was safe, and I could just tinker slowly over time with the 75... starting as a blank sheet. Anyway, the only pics of the 75, besides the old one in the gallery, are in this thread... http://mmb.maverick.to/showthread.php?t=40825 Lots of angles, but the car is pretty sad looking.
