To cut, or not to cut

[Jthomas]

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?

[85cHeavyMetalBogger]

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

[duel1985]

Gotta keep the mud out cover it

[betterbeaters]

forced induction + mud/water = junk bbc! lol find a way to seal it up so no dirt car get near it!

[burl]

Put a scoop into the cab so put it on backwards n cut the firewall and run it in

[Jthomas]

Yea I was thinking scoop backwards also. But idk yet

[bigmud44]

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

[Jthomas]

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 

[Jthomas]

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

[Jthomas]

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.

...box the entire motor in get a carb hood  and runl 4" tube or 2 of them in ur case inside the cab. my 2 cents...thats alot of money to go up in steam

No comp bogs if ya do that. Try to clear hood without cuttin

cowl hood, then cut it. i think cowl hoods look sweet with the cowl cut out

[old school truck dude]

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.

Everyone is talking like this is a bogger, I see a street truck that doesn't need an enclosed engine compartment
