Hood Scoop suggestions

[Michael C Henry]

In looking back, I was talking about the a rear facing (scoop) aluminum that Morris built for a high end replica It was added to an aluminum hood with not any out side rivets, like it was supposed to be there. best I've seen but not sold. If I build the hood with bulge. I'd want the leading edge to be more rounded and blend to the hood surface. The hood scoop were an after thought back then (remember the rivets). Aero was an unknown then. Now they know with the car moving, the air has boiled up and over the scoop an isn't catching anything Shelby said when he was starting back with continuation series (with historically warranted modifications) This is my pain now. I'm not able to get a decent air cleaner under this hood. So if i'm going to change it I'm not going to reinvent the wheel but .If my cars original builder had chosen a different intake manifold, like a single dominator four barrel so I could fit a single air cleaner. It's nostalgia meeting with reallity.
