Tired of that fiberglass underhood stuff hangin when I open the hood , the paint looks brand new under that crap and is it ever filthy... Will it be a tragic mistake to remove it for good , what does it really do , and what would replace it a little nicer looking ?? Thanx in advance.
I've seen some for sale on ebay. But, most of the cars never came with it. Won't hurt not having it. might make it look a little cleaner also.
Thanx , I am thinking that it might run a little cooler without it , that old 6 banger gets very hot really quick.. That stuff must have been put on in the factory , with all the glue ,maybe they put the blanket on it for cold winters up here in the Great White North , EH !! Looks much better and cleaner under there without it..
Hi Dave , it came off all in one piece and I got it folded up in the trunk , you can see it when we do those springs...
theres a 72 4 d with an old one in my local junk yard. that i6 u have should run cooler with out it. the i6 is a great engine but it suffers from not "breathing"properly you can get more power buy rebuilbing the carb and putting an open top k&n air filter on top and you will notice a nice littel encreace in horsepower and a lot smoother idle. iv done this to an engine that sat in a field for 6 years and it ran perfect! i drove it 2 hours home.then changed the oil! it was a fun day. hope thi helps.
My Sprint had the fiber glass blanket. Think I saved it but it wasn't in good shape. DIRTY job to remove it!!!
