I will be installing a Harwood 4" Outlaw scoop on my original '70 non-cowl hood this weekend. I was planning on cutting out the round hole that is formed by the factory underhood framing and getting my air cleaner as high as possible to get some of that cooler air above the hood. This would not disturb any of the structural framing of the hood and would provide some functionality to the scoop. Should I go ahead and cut this hole ?
