Home Brew cowl hood

[Capt. Crunch]

I know a few of you guys have put spacers in between the stock hood mounts to raise the back up on an angle. Just curious how well it works.

[Magilla]

caleb has it like that iirc

they do sell hood vents, but i'd watch that tho they let to much rain and weather in your engine bay

[Capt. Crunch]

yea i know they sell hood vents but a 2 dollar run to the hardware store and possibly have the same effect is much more cost efficient

[Magilla]

washers and longer bolts

[Capt. Crunch]

how much water do you think gets into the engine bay?

[Magilla]

caleb runs it and i dont think has a problem

I used 1 1/4 piece of box tubing and take off the rubber gasket.

I made louvers with a die grinder and wide sheet metal pliers for my CJ they actually came out pretty nice.

I dont get any water in mine. I believe the spacers I use net about 3/4". It doesnt help the engine run cooler but it does help get the hot air outta the engine bay which does help some.
