Black Diamond Shaker Hood Upgrade

[timbo2001]

Guys,

I went to the website of Pro-Finish/Pro-Glass, who created the Black Diamond X Sport, and the Shaker hood is a functional production piece ( www.profinsh-proglass.com. Terry DeLong is the main guy, and if we email him at terry@profinish-proglass.com, maybe the rear roll pan will become production, as well as other things. These guys just need to know there is a demand for the product, and they will respond.

Thanks,

I know you guys are fighting to get that induction hood on your 2001's, but does anyone know if they'd make them for older models? Like my 98? I really like that, especially if it's functional....

Spas, your only option is the shaker hood that Troll makes.

cool! shaker hoods for explorers! I thought that was only a dodge thing these days ah well, not like I'm obliged to do that anyway, my rides too slow lol

That looks very similar to the design on the 2003 Mach 1 Mustang and I belive the company that makes them is Classic Design Concepts.

RATS! You 2001 boys get alla fun (Pouting)...

Does anyone know if the shaker hood that Big Nick suggested would work on the SOHC engine? What is its size anyway, since I'm on the subject-is it a 302?

 

[Big Nick]

Spas, the one I posted is for Mustangs but I am sure it can be used with some fabrications. The scoop its self looks the same as the one on the X. How dificult it would be to set up is beyond me, but I am sure it can be done.

Hartman,
Troll's hood is not a "shaker" hood
"Shaker" is a hood with a clearance hole in it for a scoop.
The scoop is attached to the top of the intake system, carb, efi, supercharger etc...

When the motor is running the scoop "shakes"
Hence the term "shaker"

Have a good one.

Whatever, you know what I meant. Don't have to get all technical.

We know we know.....we're just too lazy to differentiate between 'shaker', 'hood' and 'add on'

Thanks for the info, Nick! I wonder if putting in a shaker would be worth the $$, seeing as to how it would probably require a helluva lot of work to install or create the necessary parts...Like, how much power could a person gain? If it's not that much, then I think I'll opt for a GT scoop off of a new Mustang and settle for having a fake, if only for looks.

What does this new hood that u guys are talking do for perfomance? What does it actually do?

Those "Tech" quotes were put up for the benefit of those that maybe don't know the difference.
That's why we have this forum.
I would bet a 12 pack that someone from this forum read it and thought,"I allways wondered why they called them that".

all i gotta say is that is one tight sport on that site in the first post....DAMN!

 

[Black Magic]

They have that hood available for purchase any day at http://www.profinish-proglass.com/thehoods/fordCompact.html

I can't decided if I want one or not. I would rather have the roll pan! I called and they said that it was a one time thing and really didn't want to do it again. Danm!

Fer real!!!!!!!!! I like, I like!!!

 

[jimbo74]

i will measure the hoods tommorow... my mom has a 96 X and my dad has a 98 ranger.....

 

[Big Nick]

I bet a shaker hood could be fabbed up and not that difficult. i pick up my 91 in 2 weeks, once I have it in front of me I will look into it. I had the plans drawn up for my 86 GT so it cant be that much harder.
