Continuing my 66 fastback build,I will need a hood scoop for my 393W with a tall intake, I came across a very well built metal scoop. Yes it is too tall. Maybe not even proper for a mustang. Please feel free to critique it.

They, my opinion, too big. Looks even worse in cowl induction pose. Can you do fibreglass ? I get a 69-70 scoop, raise it an inch or so, forward facing, and then add a tube from the cowl for extra air to the air cleaner. LSG

not feeling it

To me it's too tall and too short, both.

The droopy bow would drive me nuts.

Reminds me of Mopar's pop-up Air Grabbers.

Would look just fine on one of the cars in a Mad Max movie!

You’ll find that unless it is an actual Ford part, or came on a Ford as OE, most people won’t like it- it doesn’t look ‘right’. I’m with the others- that thing has gotta go. I do like the idea of a stock Ford Boss scoop or 67-8Shelby scoop, even if slightly modified in size.

 

[slvrblu65]

sorry....... nope, are you needing all that height?

 

[myfirstcar66]

That's gotta go on a Mopar somewhere.

Thanks for all the opinions. I thought it belonged on a Mopar too. It was hand made. I wont be using it on this car. I could see it on a gasser or a madmax car lol.

I like scoops insofar as they are needed for the engine. I think they were trying for the B429 look and it would be fine with a blower peeking up .

I got my CJ scoops from here. Fine quality, good prices and lots of choices.

Sorry that's a no go.😟

The 65-66's have smooth lines. I think that the scoop's lines are too sharp and don't blend with the car.

I am in the minority as you can see from my avatar picture. I go back an forth on this with my own car. I bought the snorkel scooped hood way back in 1990 and now realize it is kind of an albatross in today's car culture. However, if you embrace the late 60s to 70s look with the littles in front and bigs in back for the 70s prostock look it fits. My car is probably kind of cartoonish looking with the scoop but I have to say I am somewhat sick of the restomod look. To each their own. The restomod flat hood is certainly more practical but I live in Michigan and can't drive my car year around anyways so I can live with it.

I like fatties with lots of 15” rubber, and even snorkels!

Any car pics?
