thanks.the scoop took about a day.i have a hilborn style that i originally cut the hood for.so the one on there now had to fit the existing opening.it would have taken less time but my shop was a real wreck the day i built it.the manifold is less streetable than an eddy rpm,but more than a torker or m1.when i get my 390 cfm vac carbs finished that may change though.
