No. The upper intake plenum(what the throttle body is bolted to).

well what if i just switched to a carburetor they come out to the side anyways dont they iv been looking around that could be the easier route if i was goin to change anything on the engine
but i also got told to graft another hood in with mine , and that a bubble would look goofy next to that body line

A bubble in the shape of the hole would look pretty cool!

thats what i thought i thought it would look awsome as if the motor was being pushed up thru the hood but that idea got shot done by my friends lol
i wanted it but no one i know has an english wheel to get it good and smooth or is good enough with working metal to do this for me

ya,that's a duck lol.. dude just make lower motor mounts and drop that sheit. or do what no1lower did with the phlenom.. I can't spell today. or make you a big hood cowl. that woukd be kewl.

collins94 · **Posted:** Tue Nov 18, 2008 9:19 pm

Use the hood bubble from a Mitsibishi Eclipse. Its long and rounded. I've seen them used before. They look better than cowl inducted hoods, or holes in your hood. And you can buy a certifit (aftermarket) Mitsibishi Eclipse hood to cut up, to save some money.

It doesn't quite look like you need too much room. I would probably just hack the center raised section out of another hood, cut yours out at the highest point, stack weld it on for a 1" cowl induction hood look. Or any cool aftermarket scoop (tasteful) would work, just mold it in. I surely wouldn't keep the duck.
By the way, how many people have owned that truck in the past year and a half? I have seen only about 5 different people selling it on Mautofied over and over (with the casket dash!).
