Mustang GT scoop...
 
Aquatience of mine had an 01 mustang Gt and traded it for an 01 edge (he likes 01 models, weird...)...and wanted to know how hard it is to install the mustang gt scoop on a ranger? i know i read about it but im tired and dont wanna search, so dont bite my head off :smirk:

and where is the best place to buy one? i saw a few on ebay...anywhere else and do they come with the honey comb insert like the GTs have? FYI, he dont have the internet so i gotta do the footwork for him...

also some pics would be great so i can show him...

there cost $154.95

mine $35

it pays to shop the junk yards.

I think someone over at the old G-E had a printable stencil for the grill cutout. I'm doing that mod sometime soon.

^^^ robin for the 01-03 edge or 4x4 or "powerdome" hoods

Wouldn't the indention(sp?) in the middle of the edge hood present a bit of a problem??

shadyluke 09-30-2005 07:44 AM

I guess I need to head out to a junkyard

Wowak 09-30-2005 10:04 AM

For the longest time I planned on getting one, but I decided to hold off until I have HP to back it up.

Redneckstone 09-30-2005 11:07 AM

its a fake hood scoop dont need HP haha

Strider0O0 09-30-2005 11:08 AM

i was just gonna ask if it was functional, but i guess nevermind, lol. still looks good though!

dangerranger 09-30-2005 12:29 PM

ya i really like the way it looks but i like things to be functional someone sees that and then thinks you got some power and wants to race then you get smoked.

my buddy left out the "grille" in the scoop cut a hole in the hood and ducked it to run with his 302 in his ranger right on the filter but that truck is making masive power

Strider0O0 09-30-2005 03:10 PM

must be nice. i'd definately wanna cut the hole out if i got one. i wonder if it would do anything to our trucks to have the hole cut out (to make it functional). i wonder if water or other crap like that would have a negative effect on it in the long run (like the long bad winters with snow and freezing rain and sleet and salt and blah blah blah)

Redneckstone 09-30-2005 10:12 PM

you wont see any gains but about 3-5 hp with that like that our trucks dont need the much air on them....
