Which Hood Scoop???

[74swingerlover]

OK Lets hear what you guys think about either a hemi dart scoop or a six-pack scoop on my '74 swinger?

If I go with the hemi scoop should it be black or body color? (Beige)

If I go with the six pack scoop should the hood be black or body color? (beige)

I truly can't decide. if you can send me some pictures that would be nice!

i don`t have any pics of my 69 with a black six pack scoop on it but it looks great

hemi all the way...

 

[Rengo]

just imput, but it would look nice either way with either scoop, one of those, "hey you can't go wrong there" situations

Buy 2 hoods and switch them back and forth.

Just a thought, but the 73/74 Dart Sport scoop would look great on a 74 Swinger.

Not a big fan of the snorkel on swingers, also won't do twin scoops those only belong on 70-72

Actually, Dodge started using the OEM twin snorkel-style scoop on '72 Demons, then '73 Dart Sports and possibly on '74 Sports also. It wasn't available on any other years in the Dodge line-up and Plymouth never had it as an OEM option on any car.

thanks for the knowledge. I figured the snorkel was available on later year round backs. 70-72 swingers look good with the separate two scoops.

Nice job mopardrt, I like it!!!!

 

[74swingerlover]

I think if I went with the hemi scoop, I would go black
if I went with the six-pack I would go body color. Now just which scoop to decide on.....

Is it just me, or does everyone remove their bumperettes on 73-76's? Personally i like mine. And yes I do know they add a couple pounds.

where did you get the hood the wife likes it and i have been wanting one that fit?

Actually I bought it used at the Mopar Nationals around 1990. It has a tag on the underside, I'll check and see who made it. It is, just for your information a lift off design. It's held in place with dezuse fasteners and 2 hood pins.

 

[74swingerlover]

Now the question is.... should I go with a metal hood or fiberglass???

 

[superchargeddrt]

Okay guys,

A few of you wanted to know where I got my six pack hood. I bought this hood used at the Mopar Nationals around 1990. I did look at the under side of the hood and found that it was made by U.S. Body Source. Additionally some of you were asking about the placement of my hood pins. I have included pics with the measurements in the photos. I hope that this helps.

Okay here a couple more pics that wouldn't fit on the last post.

Nice looking motor!

That hood looks like the one I ordered for my 68 fish. Will be using the 4 pin "race weight" version and open the scoop like you did. Needed clearance for the aircleaner so a scoop was the ticket. Will probably paint the hood satin black with the body color being either the current factory WW1 white.

Thanks Airwoofer!

dupe posting deleted. Looking at your car again I am really glad that I picked this hood. Hope it looks as good on the fish as it does on your rod.

BTW, how was the fit on your hood? The website says they may need some trimming. Did you ise Dsus fastenerds in the middle to keep the hood flush with the fenders and eliminate buldge?

Just run hoodless cause then you caint screw it up with sumthin stupid lookin.
