Hood Scoop

[BBKNARF]

If you were going to put a hood scoop on a 68 charger what style would you recommend ?
(Looking for hood clearence for my large breather) Thanks

Looks like Jungle Pam needs some clearance for her large breathers also!!!!

I honestly like the 67 SS/SA car scoop - but it is a very odd choice for a charger...     looks kick ass though

Years ago I saw a 68 with a hood scoop from a (GAK !)Ford Torino. It actually looked pretty good on there. Lays low and follows the hood profile.

I'm not sure if Rolling Thunder and I are talking about the same hood scoop, but I always thought that if someone was to cast a flat Charger hood (sans louvers) and installed a '67 GTX SS/A "Silver Bullet" scoop, it would be the best looking Charger hood around.



Dick Landy used the same scoop on his '68, but didn't take the louvers out, rather he just pushed the scoop back really far on the hood.

yep - that was the scoop I was referring to...     I'm planning on putting one of them on a 66 Satty sometime when i get some $$$

There was a fella in Dallas back in the day with a C500.  He used a hood with the vents
& that scoop for drag racing & went back stock for shows.  I loved that car. 


I just wish I got to stick around to see more than pics of his green Daytona.  It was on
its' way to restoration instead of World of Wheels at the time - Maybe 87?

If I will go for the scoop option I will use the Challenger T/A scoop, since I also will have the original hood I thought I would
try something else.

I like that GTX SS scoop, I also like the T/A scoop after seeing it on this car:

T/A or Sixpack scoop for me  Might not be as functional as the GTX scoop, but that's not what I'm going fo.

[richRTSE]

I don't think any scoop actually looks "right" on a 2nd gen Charger, but my two favorites are the sixpack scoops and cowl hoods, not necessarily in that order.

another vote for the cowl hood. A local 68 has one and it looks great.

another vote for the 6pak

althought I would like the smaller darts/bees scoops and make them functional with aircleaner somehow

[Nacho-RT74]

or:

I like the 6 pack scoop but prefer the nice clean lines of a Charger with no scoop.

[Nacho-RT74]

but if required...

[BROCK]

Each to their own.

  Chevy scoops are on......

[Rustymuscle]

I have to agree, Brock. I've seen a bunch of Mopars with Chevy hoods. It just don't fit.

Freind of mine has a 72 SE with the long 80-81 style camaro Z28 "induction" style scoop. I dont have a pic of his car but I dig it. Its this kinda scoop
