    I'm with Dave

    I really don't like either one, but if I had to chose I'd go with the cowl. I do like the side pipes though. I bet they sound tough.

    Are those Cragar Super Tricks?

    Between the two choices I would go with the cowl hood, for whole scheme of your car.

    I like cowl hoods, just think that sometimes they only need to be half the height.. depending on wheels, stance, paint etc..

    Given the choices, I went cowl. It goes with the car better, but...I don't like cowl hoods. If it were up to me, I'd leave it flat.

    The tear drop looks wrong on anything newer than 1966 IMO.
