Anyone have a reverse cowl scoop on their van.

In my opinion, the L-88 is the best looking bonnet scoop ever made ( besides the Pontiac Trans-Am shaker and the Ford XYGT shaker which are both just cool as hell) to mould into a bonnet. Some of the Brock VH & VK ones are also acceptable, but as in most accessories some look right and some look wrong depending on what they are fitted to.

That L-88 looks great Maysik! I can't wait to see it finished.

I reckon the A9X scoop was hard to beat.

I agree, but they are getting overdone nowadays unfortunately.
Hence why my L88 is in the shed and the van has a Phase 5 on it.

The scoop with the flanges is one that I purchased from a seller on evilbay.

These are the better ones to use.

Yes, I will be doing some experimenting very shortly between the two. I will be putting a hole in the bonnet for a particular air filter I have acquired, hence I need the scoop. The evilbay L88 scoop is a fair bit lighter than the one trimmed down believe it or not as extra stiffening is in it along with other attaching mechanisms.

Rest assurred, no original equipment will be harmed in this experiment as a bonnet was acquired from Classic AusWreck.

If you use the flat based one, it'll bond to the bonnet better because of the flat surface.
Whereas the other one won't sit as flush.

Good point, thanks.

So jaft,

How did you go deciding on a cowl/scoop?

[panoz78]

I personally think a cowl is better than a scoop.
The reason being that in the colder weather crusieing along at 80k you will
find the carby can freeze up and have the throttle stick open until the heat thore's it out again.
Cowls tend not to freeze the carby but suck enough cool air to make a difference

[jaft]

Still undecided what to do.

Just bought the manifold.
So will fit it up and see if the bonnet need to be cut first..
then go from that.
