What about the rear cylinders that aren't covered? Should I use the other half of the cookie sheet I didn't use in the oil pan extension to cover the two cylinders? Also, what if I just cut holes in the hood for the cylinder heads? You know, holes a la 87/88 Turbo Coupe ;)

this is where the dryer vent tube comes in...

I hope your not using a fiberglass hood. I've heard they don't seal very well and you might end up with a blown hood gasket.

Now there's an idea! Any thoughts on which brand is the best? I know Libby's is a classic but I've heard good things lately about Sara Lee.....

Well, I hear the stock hoods aren't much better when we're talking the original 3.8L Esshag block

Don't forget to add the hamster wheel. You need the extra power to spin those two extra cylinders.

But, if I add that, I'll have to rebalance the crank shaft.

that's why you have to be extra careful;)

Hey listen, while your at it, you might want to consider adding an electric supercharger. 1 PSI of boost is the perfect compliment to a two-cylinder bolt on. At least, that's what I've read.

Btw, this is going to take you well past the 1 Gal of American Fury mark. Where are you going to end up now? I'm guessing 1.6 Gal, Commercial Size.

You don't need to buy the electric supercharger for the extra pound of boost just use a good dryer tube and mold it to your fan box in the dash and blamo extra boost

I already have the dryer tube running from under the front bumper, into an old hair dryer my wife had (well, not really old, it's the good one she uses all the time) that feeds the intake. One of the absolute positives is it's got a HIGH and LOW setting ...two stage turbo :headbang:

You hear that, gumby, you're going down :headbang:

You could also take your AC evaporator from out of the dash and mount it inline with your dryer tube under the hood in front of the hair dryer for an intercooled CAI....

Or go even further and plumb your freon lines through your intake coolant passages and have a permanent cold air intake!
