69 Cuda Hood Scoops ~ Functional or Not?

69 killer fish...

nice pic of the 69 scoop ... i posted that pic on another thread here about 6 months ago. glad you were able to use the pic for reference.

if you want to use the 69 "Cuda package" scoop you can cut out the front of the scoop fairly easily. however, if you are going to cut up a set of these scoops, PLEASE DO NOT USE AN OEM PAIR with the original chrysler pentastar emblem and part number on the back!! original 69 scoops are getting harder to find and a good original pair with the four attaching bolts on them are worth at least $400. so "cutting up" a pair of OEM scoops is a VERY bad idea....

you can buy repoduction versions of these scoops from classic industries, tony's parts and i think year one. they are around $250.00 as to cutting holes in your hood, the structural cross bar might be in the way. if you wanted to do a "ram air" type of arrangement, you could probably use a 70-71 340 "double snorkel" air cleaner mounted backwards and attach some kind of flexible duct - although i don't know about the under hood clearance with the hood shut.

as cuda69 noted, you will not get much "ram air" effect with these scoops back as far as they are but you could modify them to provide more air to the carb than with just a solid hood.

good luck..
