I'm interested in replacing the stock hood on my '94 GT convertible with a cowl induction hood, mostly because I like the look of it. I don't know much about modifications and need advice from someone who does. There seem to be several sellers, so it's a pretty popular thing to do.
A guy at the Ford dealership warned me that swapping out the stock hood would be a bad mistake because at highway speed, with the cowl induction hood the Mustang will begin to shimmy. He said the aerodynamics are wrong and the Mustang wasn't designed for stability with a taller hood.
I don't know what to make of this since there are stock Cobra hoods with roughly the same shape but obviously that's no problem for those.
Would somebody here who's done this or knows someone who has please give me some advice? The car's in the shop for repair of some front end damage, so this is my easiest opportunity to make a switch but I need to decide pretty quickly.
Thanks, Steve
