I am liking this setup--maybe because i am so accustomed to the 427S/C type that anything different (within bounds!) is cool. Keep up the thread so we can see the finished product, please!
I agree that the front lip of the scoop needs to be further forward and closer to the lower radiator inlet lip as you said. I have decided to make another attempt with aluminum. I have a friend who is an expert at welding aluminum. He will be my go-to source on the second attempt. I'll keep everyone informed
