Blower motor going in soon. I have a 3" body lift. Shoul I get a scoop, cut a hole in the hood? Or get short air cleaners and try and clear?
i'd say scoop or cowl.
Street cruiser needs to stick out, mud truck needs to something over it or you just wasted alot of money on that motor
Gotta keep the mud out cover it
forced induction + mud/water = junk bbc! lol find a way to seal it up so no dirt car get near it!
Put a scoop into the cab so put it on backwards n cut the firewall and run it in
Yea I was thinking scoop backwards also. But idk yet

Burst panel.
With how nice your blazer looks I wouldn't cut a big hole in the firewall for the blower
Wait wait wait. I'm not cuttin a hole in the fire wall. Lol
Maybe the hood is all
I keep searching the web for a blown k5. Haven't seen it yet ++peace
But the scoop backwards could still work?

And even if ya put it backwards what happens when the mud,water splashes of the windsheild,roof? Cause with that much power ya know the muds going to be flying. JMO
Lol. That's true.
But If I have air cleaners stuffed under the hood, stuff will still splash up under the hood. With the scoop backwards, it's more difficult to let stuff in, and there will still be filters in it.
But I kind of don't want to chop a hole in it. Unless I HAVE too. I don't have the extra cash to get a cowl.

cowl hood, then cut it. i think cowl hoods look sweet with the cowl cut out
I would just cut the hood and make a cover for it, smooth it out with some bondo and all that, seal up engine compartment best ya can. That thing is pretty tall now that I see the pic.. If it's a K5 with a 3" body lift, it shouldnt need much for a box on top. A guy on here took his inner fenderwells out and ran pipe from the core support to the firewall and hung rubber mats along the sides of the motor, had it screwed to the top of the framerails.. Another mat up underneath across the bottom of the frame.. Put a good air cleaner on it, one made for a mud truck and lotsa silicone on wires and junk. ;D ==wgm
Everyone is talking like this is a bogger, I see a street truck that doesn't need an enclosed engine compartment
Cute girl btw

I havent seen the truck, just a shiny motor and a cute girl. Aint he the lucky one..? ;D Hey can ya post a pic of the truck so we know what we're workin on here..?
Found a pic
Yea I seen that truck on YouTube. 700hp with a b&m 177 @5psi
A single holly 700
Not saying I'll have much more but I'd like to see 850? Shoot I'd be happy if it just ran on all 8. Im really not too picky on the hp. It has enough for me. And if it has 500, cool. If it has 1000, great. it really doesn't matter to me
The truck is not strictly a bogger. It's not strictly a street truck. I drive it where I feel. And I live by a swamp :)
Down there all the time pulling people out. loll

Id just cut a little hole and box it in with some sheet metal, bondo it up and call it good.. You can get a different hood and cut it up and save your original in case ya need it for somethin ;D
How do you attach a cowl?

Rivets and then bondo over it n smooth it in if ya wanna make it look like its a whole cowl hood.. You can countersink the rivet holes a little bit to make it easier to cover them with bondo, or just rivet it with stainless rivets evenly spaced looks cool ;D
Nah. It will be fine with just rivets. Now I have to find one.
Dang ya caught me addin to my post loll
Yea I like the "heavy" look. The interior will match.
