That does fill the engine bay. It appears much more so than an FE. Is the hood "standard" or is the scoop extended?

It's a 'standard' scoop, though I have toyed with the idea of a wider scoop so I can use a 14" filter, mostly prior to going to my current setup. Some of the European replicas (e.g. DAX) use a wider scoop - not as large as the one on the 'Super Snakes', just wider, perhaps a bit higher and a big less rounded.

FWIW, I see Shell Valley has a large scoop in their catalogue - it's listed as 31.5" long, 18.5" wide (presumably flange to flange) and 3.5" high. It also looks like it's more rounded, more like the original style than the slightly angular DAX scoop. Cobra Replica Hood Scoop
