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

I havent seen the truck, just a shiny motor and a cute girl. Aint he the lucky one..? Hey can ya post a pic of the truck so we know what we're workin on here..?

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.

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

How do you attach a cowl?

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

[Jthomas]

Nah. It will be fine with just rivets. Now I have to find one.

Yea I like the "heavy" look. The interior will match.
