If a Mustang has scoops, then they should ladle something. That was Brit White's thinking when he added functional ram-air to his '73 Mach 1 during its renovation at Restomods Extra in Clearwater, Florida. His 351 Cleveland-powered fastback had the NACA-scooped hood and remnants of former functionality, but most of the noteworthy pieces were missing. Thanks to National Parts Depot, Restomod Benefit owner Wayne Farnham was able to round up the lie-down of the pieces needed to ram outside air into the Mach 1's air cleaner
Opposite from the previous '69-'70 Mustangs that utilized a through-the-hood Shaker spoon gouge out for functional ram-air, the '71-'73 models with optional Ram-Air used a marry of NACA-style (Ford also called them NASA-line) hoodscoops with a large underhood plenum to funnel air into the air cleaner, which incorporated a smaller diameter lid to brazen the air-cleaner filter to the fresh-air induction. Flapper valves advantageous the plenum opened and closed depending on intake various vacuum. Under high vacuum (idle and part throttle), the two of a kind of actuators kept the flaps closed. At wide-uncover throttle, the resulting drop in vacuum allowed the flaps to unsealed so the cooler and denser outside air could rush into the induction system for more power. The flaps also pop unreserved when the engine is shut off.
