OK, many people have added the 87-88 hood to the 83-86 Birds and Cougars so they can have the ‘look’ and/or the functionality of the air ducts bringing air to an added factory intercooler.
I have the intercooler and associated brackets etc to install one on my 86 T-bird but I want to try something a little different from the typical 87-88 hood install.
I like the look of 79-83ish forward facing Mustang hood scoops. They came on turbo Mustangs and early GT’s. The turbo ones even have ‘turbo’ badges on the sides.
I have access to a spare 86 hood so I would not be cutting up my original hood, I could just store that. What do you think of cutting up the spare hood over the side of the intercooler that would be covered by the scoop and adding a deflector inside the scoop to direct air over to the intercooler ?
Here’s what the scoop looks like:

And here’s the incredible drawing I made to illustrate this plan:

Is this a crazy idea that would be mocked ? or is it the unique and brilliant plan I think it is ? What do you think~
