Hot Rods Hood Clearance Issues - '56 Chevy, SBC, 4-71, Holley

That's a great idea. Do you think a T-bolt blister would look funny with the rib?

 

Not if you don't! At least it would set itself apart from the rest of the T Bolts..............

 

Glenn.
Letter 'Y' was what I had on my 1st '55. Is that catalog page from J.C. Whitney?

 

Letters ''X'' and ''U'' have a nice look and are peaked.

 

bolt on '57 t bird www.up22.com rather than glassing on one

 

I can see X looking like extending the hood shape just in a smaller version.

 

Don't limit your search to automotive scoops, check out the marine scoops also. Yes I know boats don't have hoods but they have some nice looking scoops that bolt to their tunnel ram, blowers and such!

 

Being the traditional meatball I am I would suggest the Ford dump truck scoop'

 

The SD Pontiac scoop had its origin from the Ford F600 truck, Pontiac bought some and assigned a GM part number to make them legal to meet the NHRA rules.

 

Yes Sir, 1975

 

Plenty of room left....

 

I like these 2 scoops. Cal Custom and Offy.

 

To me none of the scoops actually look good on the car. They look like an afterthought or just flat out look wrong. I have always liked well done scooped hoods.......factory designs usually, because they flow with the hood. So far I haven't seen anything that looks better than squirrels thru the hood set up. It just says "power" and no bullsh**.
