what kind of cowl or hood scoop would look and work best on my car. i plan to bolt on a 2bbl carb and hood clearence is going to be an issue
If you're putting a 2-bbl on six-banger and worried about hood clearance, remember that any scoop will have to be off to the side and not directly centered on the hood. A cowl hood or some kid of a double scoop setup is going to be what you need. I believe that there are all kinds of scoops in the tread John posted.
i thought about putting a reverse shelby scoop on the side where the filter will stick out somting like a mini cowl
Crites Restoration has a Boss 429 hood scoop that should work for you. I think it only costs about $79. Here's the info from there site Boss 429 style hood scoop bolts on & fits other Ford & Mercury hoods (22” widex27” longx3”tall - $79 http://www.critesrestoration.com/mustang.htm
Who has the Shelby KR scoop nowadays? That thing is 'uber' wide and would cover an offset hole in the hood. Last I heard, I think Ray has it... (Rayzorsharp) That thing looked good. I am waiting to see it all done up with paint and on a car! Too bad it is full on custom and not available.
is this it? View attachment 25940 http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/...10325/p-2010325/N-111+10201+600002538/c-10101 this car looks like it has that shelby KR scoop you were talking about, is this the scoop?
Here is the KR scoop... Please forgive my novice skills with photochop. The hood is primer, but I tried to color it red. It is so hard to tell how the finished product will look when it's in primer. I doubt you could do this as just a scoop. This setup is more a complete hood, not something you can bond or bolt on.
If the scoop is wide enough you can still center it on the hood and it will work. The hole for your carb will just be off center.
