Title: Hood scoop advice/direction
Post by: DeltaElite121 on February 14, 2011, 09:57:29 PM
Have any of you found anything that will work that's around 2 inches? I've found 3 and 4 inches, but the 3 is VERY expensive for just a scoop. I need it for hood clearance for the 351 and an airgap. Here's what I've found so far I guess.. still not perfect, but I doubt I'll find that with these hood dimensions being so short.

Last but not least - any of you have a good direction or at least pictures of your hoods that you did some work on? This whole thing is bothering me and I'd like to find something that fits where I don't need a huge bulge to make it happen.

The 1107 is what I used on my car temporarily for a year or so. Worked great but was very prominent from the driver's seat. I loved it, great clearance when mounted on top of the stock hood, and really not too obvious from the side at about 15'.

1407? I'm not seeing it? Typo for the 1107?

I do, but they aren't very useful.  Jeez, I just realized how bad that probably looked to EVERYONE else! Aww hell, it worked well, and I kinda liked it. maybe if I had actually painted the car...  :)
