    Im in the process of finding a grabber hood. I was wondering if any one knew what it would take to make it a working hood that air can flow through.

    Not worth it unless you just want to get cool air to the engine.

    i was going to do this using a spare set of scoops and some of the large duct hose directing it into the air cleaner. it would be almost identical to a 69-70 gto ram air hood.

    That's what Lynn (friend of mine) did. Cut the holes & used duct hose directing it to the air cleaner....
