    Ram air carb?

    is it possible to somehow make my stock carb into some sort of ram air? like if I take off the whole box thingy, and put some sort of scoop on the hood and takes air through there and into the carb. no a direct you know ram but more air possabilities. and if it's a dumb idea tell me and I'll shut up

    Some one on the board has this, I think it is A20A1. I saw a hood scoop on his car.

    I know it is definitely possible, it's just time and money your willing to put into it.

    it took some time like 2 days

    the first thing i did i drew a outline
    then cut the out side w/an air saw
    and folded the sheet metal down
    cut some xtra metal for the sides
    and welded did some body work and painted

    it is faster if u work in a body shop!

    Nice work, so is the carburetor connected in some sort of way to the hood? do you have pics inside the engine bay?
