I may pick me up a fiberglass hood and try this, I would want to stick with more of a stock heigth cowl hood though, I dont know if they make stock cowl fiberglass hoods though, all I have seen is the 4 inch like this.

Seems just a tad over the top unless you're racing. Looks like a Corvette hood on steroids. IMHO

thats what I'm sayin, do it to a stock cowl hood and I think it would look just about right:thumbsup: but there may not be enough rise to do it on a stock hood:confused:

there is, the hood there, the "ram air scoops" . are raised.. not level with the hood

a flat velle hood + the speedshops.com 2" steel cowl scoop ..
and those ram air scoops.. or the front half of the l88 scoop
will clear.. any set up that clears a stock cowl hood

I'm not the biggest fan, looks like a WS6 hood got its nose punched in.

Black the screens out and it would help.

If it were more like a GTO hood, I could rework my air filter setup plans since I don't have it built yet, but that's too far back for me.

There must be something in the air in that neighborhood among chevy owners. Note the Big Foot Chevy pick-up across the street. :wacko:

Nope.

The front entrance to the scoop looks like it's exactly in the LOW-pressure area of the hood. Lucky if you aren't letting underhood air OUT.

I'd love to see some yarn tufts taped to the hood with the car going 80+ mph.

Too high and the grill screens should be painted flat or satin Black.

Sometimes the old and new mix well together, this time it doesn't!
Looks like it was nicely done though.

I like tall cowl hoods, my '65 has a VFN 5", but this one reminds me of the water intake on the bottom of a jet drive boat. It is not easy to do anything with a large hood scoop and have it come off well - even a lot of the pro stock scoops are ugly. The L88 scoop still looks good on a lot of cars, and the Ford teardrop looks good on the right body styles. Then there is the barn door hemi scoop that is just...HUGE.
