85-89 Firebird 2.8... very strange hood?

I was at the local parts yard yesterday and I found what looks to be an 85-89 Firebird with a really neat hood. The car was a 2.8, had nearly no options, but had racing slicks on the back...

The hood looked stock, but when I opened it there was a blower fan on the inside of the cowl! Is this rare or am I just not too saavy on Firebirds?

Was it a hood like the formulaswith the teardrop scoop? V6 Birds came only with a base flat hood, no scoop or grilles. As far as the blower fan, sounds like someone rednecked up something for that.

It is the tear drop style, and the blower looks totally stock! I'll see if I can get pics....

82-84 T/A's had an air induction system through the tear drop, that fed the 4bbl carb or Crossfire Injection.
