    +1 exhaust video

    and now that I know it'll fit... if I ever get the funds to do it and still have my Mark... yeah... *dreams a little dream of twin turbos and a 9" rear custom suspension to hold onto the road, cross braces to save the chassis from the torque, and brakes to stop the beast*

      Small update

      Just got a few little things done. Still far from done!!!! It might have a little more grunt now with a good air cleaner on it. The only one I could fit before was on a deep drop base with a flat top and short filter. There was only 1/2 inch between the base and lid. Got about 2" now with a much taller filter. I think the headlight funnels will help too!!!

                  Dude, you already cut the hole in the hood and have the scoop. I vote for Ram Air.

                    The regular headlights are moved to the inside holes and changed to a smokey looking HID setup to look a little more black to match the black headlight air funnels in the outside holes. Can't easily get a straight shot to the inside ones for the 4in. dual ram air setup without destroying the header/ raidiator support.

                      nah... ram air from the scoop on the hood. The dual snorkel is a great idea for a stock hood... but since you have the hole in the hood to make that scoop functional... why not make it functional?

                          The scoop is too far up the hood (below the boundary layer) to provide functional ram air, anyway.

                          Looking forward to hearing how it drives once you get it out and start to get on it.

                              You don't know any people by the name Wonorski up there in Youngstown do you? One of my good buddies family is from there - we attempted to put a 351 BOSS into a 88 T-bird at his mom's farm in Youngstown... but this was 11 years ago when neither of us knew what we were doing.

                              Awesome build BTW, if I haven't commented already!
