Generation II Grill Ideas

[1993MTXSHO]

Hey im been trying to get some ideas to get some more airflow into my gen II Im buying a cowl hood in about a month i think but wated to get soem more airflow going through my radiator i was thinking about cutting my grill liek the Gen I police grill but its to small anyone ever find some way to get my air flowing through there? I have a spare bumpercover to practice on.

I believe it has been found that the cowl hoods really don't do that much for sucking out heat. But I don't have one so I don't know. Sure look good thou.

And If you look around on cardomian there is someone who cut holes out from behind the licence plate, that way you can just cover the holes back up.

how about cutting out the whole grill the part between the headlights and retrofitting a billet grill in there and then maybe cutting the header panel to get a nice amount of airflow as well. Heres a quick thing I did its nto very good but it gets the idea across. Looks kinda lie ka crown vic now i think Im not realyl sure if i liek it.

The cowl hood does help cool the motor. In fact if I dont clear the leaves off the window the cowl will suck them in. It will also suck in rain. Very cool to watch.

When ever you are ready to buy a cowl let me know. I can have it made in about a week for you. $500 shipped.

i can see heat escaping fro mthe cowl at a standstill after the engine is very hot, i assume it would be even better under movement (but i have an original cincySHO cowl, i assume the new ones would be the same)

Then at some point I have to find time to install my BBB and port match my heads and stuff but before that im getting my intake powdercoated.

Is this a deal you can do for anyone or was this a one time offer kind of thing? I would LOVE a cowl hood on my SHO.

 

[LOUDSHO92]

I sell them, so when ever you want to buy one.

I just got the new prices, so I need to take a look at that. PM if you are interested.

I dont have a problem with it sucking in the rain.

Removed "grille"...bad idea?

Ok, since I need a water pump but keep putting it off due to the fact that it'll cost about $350.00, I took the "grille" off hoping it will let more air through the radiator and engine. Is this a bad idea? I noticed a sensor of some sort in front of the radiator, is it an airbag sensor? If something hit it just the right way, would the airbag deploy? Let me know what you guys think. P.S. yeah, it looks ugly without the "grille" but anything to get more air in till I get the water pump!

 

[Minnesho]

Yes, if another car hit you in just the right way, it would deploy.

$350 for the water pump? are you having someone else do it? I got my water pump for $50 at the local parts store.

 

[EMB2580]

well, $350.00 is what a shop quoted me. that's pump, coolant, labor, etc.

Who sells the cowl hoods and are there any others that aren't carbon fiber? CF is nice and all but expensive for a daily driver.

 

[LOUDSHO92]

I sell them in either CF or FG. There is a $50 difference. PM if you are interested.
