Ken, I have a 73L with factory vents and a spare solid hood against the wall for you to measure should you choose to do so. I wanted a GT40 look. The problem for me was the light bar located in the wrong spot for a better opening. I even thought of having two bucket motors to eliminate it. Art had tried various designs on his hood taking pics as he went thru the process. Check with him too.

Hi Rod, My plan is to modify the area behind the radiator for a large vent. I'm taking out the light bar and will go to two motors or just clear covers, haven't decided yet. I took some rough measurements and plan to move the front of the trunk to where the flat part of the floor ends. That gives me about 24 inches from the nose without losing much useful storage.

My gut feeing is the opening needs to be moved back to reduce air pressure over the opening. And that probably depends on speed.

Okay, let's put our engineering hats on and have some fun technical discussion..... it sure beats the discussion over POCA of late! I think (but readily admit my engineering degree is not in aerodynamics!) hood vents and location play a minor part in overall aerodynamics. Hood vents are a great way to provide additional cooling in traffic, but perhaps limited value at high speed when the front of the hood becomes a high pressure area. Now you have opposing forces at play and at speed 'x' the pressure is likely enough to overcome that produced by the radiator fans (I imagine that 'x' would not be excessively high, perhaps even highway cruising speed). So outside air now reverse enters the hood vents or at a minimum restricts fan flow resulting in air that is forced under the car i.e. back to the original Ford design concept. A Gurney lip on the frontal edge of hood vents would help create a low pressure area, but I still believe the air from the radiators will ultimately be forced under the car at some speed now x+y. As testament to the pressures on the hood Larry Stock told me that Mike Cooke collapsed an aluminum hood at high speed. As alternative thinking, most cars that employ an aerodynamic frontal hood vent do so in combination with a full flat underside. I think this is a critical element in the success of the design and one without the other is likely non productive. Furthermore most running Pantera's in ORR have reported that a front air dam is a key element in preventing front end lift at +150mph, again attesting to restricting air flow under the car is the most critical element.

Okay, let's put our engineering hats on and have some fun technical discussion..... it sure beats the discussion over POCA of late! I think (but readily admit my engineering degree is not in aerodynamics!) hood vents and location play a minor part in overall aerodynamics. Hood vents are a great way to provide additional cooling in traffic, but perhaps limited value at high speed when the front of the hood becomes a high pressure area. Now you have opposing forces at play and at speed 'x' the pressure is likely enough to overcome that produced by the radiator fans (I imagine that 'x' would not be excessively high, perhaps even highway cruising speed). So outside air now reverse enters the hood vents or at a minimum restricts fan flow resulting in air that is forced under the car i.e. back to the original Ford design concept. A Gurney lip on the frontal edge of hood vents would help create a low pressure area, but I still believe the air from the radiators will ultimately be forced under the car at some speed now x+y. As testament to the pressures on the hood Larry Stock told me that Mike Cooke collapsed an aluminum hood at high speed.

I might respectfully disagree (obviously not having tested this on my own...) The airflow over the car (like that over a wing) will be accelerated. The air going over the top of the car will create lift (as in the front of the stock Pantera lifting up at speeds above 125 mph, such that handling gets squirrely). This lift is due to low pressure over the top of the car (again like an airplane wing), which will tend to pull air out through the hood vents.

A lot of the reason a Pantera lifts around 125 is so much air goes UNDER the front end of the car forcing it up. Many years ago I was driving a 914-6 at ridiculous speeds coming down a mountain and it was planted to the road quite nicely. Three hours later while pulling into a parking spot I utterly destroyed my front chin spoiler so I removed what was left. Driving the exact same road the next day at the same speed it suddenly got very light in the front end as I increased my speeds to around 100 mph.........the only change was the missing chin spoiler/ air dam. Put a GTS air dam on a Pantera and your lift pretty much goes away. Now obviously a bigger dam, like the Gr. 4 or GT-5 style will help even more and raise the speed threshold for front end lift.

Understood Chuck, and at about 180 MPH the rear of the Pantera will lift off due this effect but not the front because of the downward pressure from the frontal hood area. An aluminum front hood will actually collapse inward at about the same speed.

Rod __________________________________________________________________ From: Larry Stock <[11]larrys@panteraparts.com> Sent: Wednesday, August 3, 2016 12:35 Understood Chuck, and at about 180 MPH the rear of the Pantera will lift off due this effect but not the front because of the downward pressure from the frontal hood area. An aluminum front hood will actually collapse inward at about the same speed.

Hey Rod, I had a problem with my hood where it made it easier to install large "GT40" style vents then to restore the hood to stock. I too had to remove my light bar to make room but I love the look and the fit. To make the lights function I ordered the following from Detroit speed. They demonstrated the product at SEMA and then I had to wait for them to finish the design and put it into production. http://www.detroitspeed.com/1963-1967-Corvette-Products/122006-headlight-doo... Kind of expensive but the engineering is incredible and it works VERY smooth. We are in the process of doing the final install. I had some custom brackets made so that they can be installed with or without the fenders on (my passenger fender is off and my driver fender is on). By the way I am using Kirks kit that lowers the headlight buckets. The mechanism does not require any limit switches as all of that works within the system based on load and resistance. Great product. If you are interested and would like to order a set of the brackets let me know. I do not sell them (my body and paint guy does) and I do not have a financial interest in them. Hope that gives you options.

Hi Rod, My plan is to modify the area behind the radiator for a large vent. I'm taking out the light bar and will go to two motors or just clear covers, haven't decided yet.

Ken, I have a 73L with factory vents and a spare solid hood against the wall for you to measure should you choose to do so. I wanted a GT40 look. The problem for me was the light bar located in the wrong spot for a better opening. I even thought of having two bucket motors to eliminate it. Art had tried various designs on his hood taking pics as he went thru the process. Check with him too.
