    Unless you've got the motor to back up the look, don't do it.

    Would it require cutting a hole in the hood?

    Hate seeing them on cars. If you like the look put a blower on it. To me it screams "poser". Never been a fan of them but I do like the real thing.

    agreed. 'maybe' on a tunnel ram too but one of those sitting on a single carb is pretty lame. Shame to cut up a decent hood for just that. Just my .02.

    btw that falcon is sick. 60-61?

    And sometimes it pokes out and sits at an angle where you weren't expecting.
