Functional hood scoops

I'd like to see some pics from those who have functional hood scoops, single or dual, on their truck. Also, if anyone has a cowl induction hood sealed to force the air intake from the cowl area, I'd like to see that as well.

Thanks, do you have plans to seal the air intake to the hood? I'm a big fan of cold air induction, but don't like how restrictive the factory arrangement is. I'm leaning toward getting a cowl hood and fabricating a box that will seal the air filter assembly to the hood, to force it to use air from the cowl instead of the engine bay. A ram air hood would be nice, except it would allow so much water in the engine.

Yeah, I had one that looked almost factory on my '84, but a 4"x14" open element filter offered a more noticeable improvement in performance.

My first 1976 Scottsdale had a factory corvette dual snorkel breather with the hoses and pods installed in the core support... man was it sweet, especially once I cut the bug guards off of the core support mounts. BTW, unless you want to buy A LOT of air filters/ K N Filter Recharger kits, leave the bug guards on.

i will be doing a functional cowl in the spring, once i get the steel hood ill be doing some fab work to make it work
, only thing im skeptical about is sealing it without extream wind noise

I've moved to the idea of using a ramair box setup, with bug guards.
Heres the company's website
http://www.ramairbox.com/
And some pics from 73-87.com of an install for our trucks
http://www.73-87.com/7387garage/drivetrain/ram_air.htm
It utilizes a 14"x4" round air filter instead of the relatively small factory filter.
Though I'd still love to see anything anyone does to seal the intake to the hood.

Nice looking truck, I really like the "practical" look, especially on a 4wd.
Do you have a way of sealing the air cleaner to the scoop, or do you just have it blowing air in around where the filter is? Or are you running w/o a filter?
