Shaker hood question
#5
that trimmed cover looks great to me- I always kinda worried about trapping heat around the intake- plus I like to see the engine
to the OP- I'm pretty certain all these setups use the exact same scoop- its a ford cast aluminum part made for the 03 mach1. there was a company making fiberglass shaker scoops, but Ive never seen one...
for ours, ended up getting a fang hood/shaker- but bolted the scoop to their 'mach1' blockoff plate. it still blows thru the hollow hood chamber to their airbox, but leaves more room under the hood (still hoping for a blower someday).
Had to mold some 'glass standoffs to the plate, mill some off the front bosses of the scoop, make a backing plate 'ring' / neoprene seal to seal the scoop to the hood, took a little longer than anticipated, but it worked out OK... and should clear a K-B

On the shroud, yes I did trim quite a bit of it so it wouldn't hide the valve covers and trap all the heat underneath it. I basically taped off the line I wanted to cut, used a dremel to make the cut and used self-adhesive door molding around the edge to hide the cut edge. TacoBill has some great information on how he trimmed his shroud here:

I'll put a vote in for the shaker. I love mine! The Foose hood and the 281 emblem really add some style to it. I have not shaved mine down on the inside, but I like the look and have considered it.
