Possibly this from Moroso

Looks great! I'd like to do something similar when i get my s/s scoop on :thumbup:
Longgone 06-25-2006, 09:12 PM Nice, I need to do that too, yours kinda` reminds me of a birthday cake! Wouldn`t scoops work better if they were off center? I guess that wouldn`t be asthetically pleasing. What is the offset on yours? I like your valve covers, are those the Moroso fabricated ones?
1969340dart 06-25-2006, 09:25 PM Damn that looks cool! I am sort of wanting to do something like that to my 69 Dart Swinger but I just can'tbring myself to remove the original bulge hood.I just love the style of those 69 Dart Bulge Hoods!

lenweiler 06-26-2006, 05:40 AM The foam is from Moroso. The sheetmetal is .050" aluminum. Very light. And stiff. Carb offset is approx. 1& 5/8". And yes. The vc's are also Moroso.
BoredandStroked 06-26-2006, 08:57 AM Very nice indeed. I am doing a cold air intake like that but with a lil twist. I will post pics of it when i get it done around the first or second week of july. Here is a lil hint... anyone ever used chimney piping for an intake? Haha... let your minds work on that.

Cold air is a proven hp potential. Sometimes up to a .10 et, or more. But I understand your delema.
Don't know if you have seen this before but this is the way I am going with cold air intake.

ET differences seem inflated. I notice that the mph barely changed, and mph is an indicator of horsepower. Still, you get the jest of it. Those air boxes are made near me. Nice for stock appearing cars.
briankaplan 06-30-2006, 08:47 AM I have been thinking about doing the same. Was wondering how much it
would help ET wize. I have the K/N top on the 14in. K/N filter. The filter is
the 4in tall one. Was wondering about the foam to seal it. The top of my
filter is right at the top of the hood line. You can look right in the front of
the stock 73-74 scoop and see it. Would it realy help that much?
lenweiler 06-30-2006, 09:02 AM If you're thinking about ram effect; it's not going to happen. That happens only at a very height, and then, not much. Main thing is to draw in the cooler, unrestricted outside air. Have a look at the cars that run hard at the track the next time.
MikeD 06-30-2006, 04:04 PM You dont have to cut your bulge hood, just take it off, store it and buy a cheap flat hood or a fibreglass one.
That's what i did.

340Dart 06-30-2006, 04:20 PM Would building one work with a velocity stack air cleaner? I have the one from K&N. It fits in the snorkle scoop. Or does the filter have to be at the base of the sheet metal?
Mick Semantel 07-01-2006, 12:22 AM MikeD, that has to be the toughest car I have ever seen!!!
BoredandStroked 07-01-2006, 08:48 AM Dang 340Dart and MikeD... you two have some rad rides. I thought I would hate the snorkel hood scoop on a Dart... I was totally wrong. Looks pretty nice in my opinion!
