Look at this scoop

[Paul G]

Opinions please?

Scoop? Looks like an airfilter housing with an air duct.

It is an air cleaner that will sit above the hood. I was looking at Hilborn style carb scoops when I saw this.

[Kern Dog]

Terrible idea. Every hood scoop put on a 68-70 Charger detracts from the excellent stock design.
I understand the need when running a tall intake but they just don't improve on the factory design. They are an ugly necessity for some people though.

General Lee, it seems hard to get cold air in these cars

Looks like he drives 3rd gens.

Still, don't cut a hole in your hood.  Doesn't look good.

The hood wont close on the 73 Rallye with the 505. It has a mid rise intake with a 1" spacer. I am not going to cut a power bulge hood, that one will hang on the wall. I bought a cheap flat hood to cut for the air cleaner. It is that or no hood. I have been driving it with no hood, that is not bad either.

Thanks for YOUR opinion, l love how you write it as fact... Others would disagree. To each their own I guess

Well, you asked for an opinion, I would put a bulge in the hood before having that abortion sticking out of the hood.

It has a bulge hood, and it wont close. Another option is a Hilborn style scoop.

I think that would look interesting and different for a rat car. You can start there, and then go to hood scoop if you don't like it I guess. Nothing looks worse to me than the Hilborn style on a single four barrel.

I put a Challenger TA scoop on my 73 for the clearance needed. I think it fits the lines if the car and even fits perfectly to the curvature and ridge on the flat-style hood.

The "Others" would be wrong. A scoop on a hood with this scallop design is a step backwards.
The picture that you listed of Dick Landy is obviously a race car where function takes importance over appearances.

and somehow, he steers it.

I dont know how the engine to hood clearance might be different in a 73 compared to a 66 through 70 b-body, but in those years you can make a 650 HP 500 inch motor with an intake system that will fit under a flat hood.

My 72 Charger, 360 engine, RPM air gap intake with a holley carb needed a drop base air cleaner and 1 3/4" tall filter to close the flat hood.
The 73 Charger B engine has the RPM air gap intake 1" spacer under the throttle body. It has a flat air cleaner base and 3" filter. The filter lid sits way above the fenders. I want to keep it there pulling air from above the hood.

I dont need a stinkin hood LOL

Can't argue with a guy that knows what he wants.

How about something like this:

Not a bad price for a scoop itself
