Tomorrow,:nannerbang: after work yeah yeah I know.... TEASER thread!Dont worry, I think it will be worth it. Quote Selected

Reply #9 – May 21, 2008, 06:23:46 PM 'Bout the only way you're gonna give an MN12 some Fox mojo would be to section about 6" out of its width, lengthen it by about a foot, and give it a stick rear end :hick:That being said, if you're gonna go with TC hood scoops you should make it a real spiritual successor to the TC. The 2.3 would be too small for the MN12's girth - maybe a turbo-and-intercooled 3.8 (or 4.2) :D Quote Selected

I have been researching adding a power adder to this chassis though.Quote from: cougrrr302;220104Looks good! Are those another set of scoops you hand-crafted out of sheet metal??Nope, I figured out a cleaner way of making them... they are made from the hood... made 3 cuts, and left the front attached, then made the side pieces on my sheet metal brake, and tacked them in. Now I gotta finish the welding, then grind them smooth, and finish the metal work.:D Quote Selected
