Trent, with the cowl induction "hood", do you think it would have enough gap to stick a few gauges in the opening? That would look sicker than AIDS.
I'm working right now to mount a cluster on my hood that includes a voltmeter and an analog clock. I may also put a boost guage on it so it can read zero, since there's no turbo.

This is a factory article, from the person who INVENTED the cowl hood.
"The hood dubbed "Super Scoop" by Chevrolet was designed specifically to be a functional piece of high-performance equipment. The intention was to increase overall horsepower by delivering cold fresh air to the induction system. Not only did it effectively accomplish its primary objective, but its stylistic beauty greatly contributed to the mark resulting in the classic appearance of the 1969 Camaro equipped with the "Cowl Induction" hood."
Once again for the cheap seats.
"Chevy engineer Doug Roe, who worked with Product Promotions chief Vince Piggins, found a dramatic performance gain by taking the cool dense air at the high pressure area near the base of the windshield. Ducting pressurized fresh cold air from this area to the carburetor creates a more dense fuel charge with increased volumetric efficiency resulting in more horsepower"
This is from the engineer who designed the cowl hood.
Hmmm..an engineers drawing.
Please apologize for you "owned" comment.
Once again,
Check and mate.
Again.
Put your tail between your lets and walk away sissy boy.
I am in NO way speaking of cowl induction. I'm talking about venting the rear of the engine compartment. Every car has a cowl. Where the dash and windshield meet the body of the car is the cowl.
Cowl induction was only induction because of a valve actuated flap in the rear facing scoop. Only actuated at 80% throttle. The rest of the time it was closed. Exclusive to Chevrolet.
So for all other makes of cars and aftermarket hoods that had some sort of venting near the cowl was for the purpose of venting heat.
I'm not sure where you guys got this whole cowl induction thing from my previous posts?
