The 70-72 OLDS 442 Ram Air hood was available as a stand alone option.. Ran one on the Vista Cruiser wagon in Div 6 for a number of years in S & SS.

Anyway does anyone know if you can run a ram air hood off a Z28 on an 80/81 Camaro coupe?

Wasn't this a dealer installed option only?

If you ordered a new Z28 with that option, the crossram kit actually came in the trunk and was installed by the dealer. You could also specify a set of headers...they also came in the trunk and were made by Kustom Headers in Michigan. You could also get the same stuff o.t.c. for owners to install.

But back to the hood louvers on the Camaros and Novas.......grin.

It goes way deeper than this. I'm building a 3rd generation Camaro for stock and I have found that NHRA allows engine/transmission combinations that never existed in the showroom. To give you and example they allow automatics in the IROC Z's that were only available in a manual five speed. They allow cars that are carburetor that only came fuel injected from the factory. You can use any body flaring that you want or none at all it seems not to mention any hood. So, you could have a base Camaro a Berlinetta a Z-28 or an IROC Z and all are acceptable. NHRA has lost control of this and if we as racers really care about our sport, like golfers need to police ourselves. Sorry, my intent was not to hi-jack this post but, I think it goes along with it somewhere.
