Hemi hood scoop reinforcement bars

-
I run 2 on mine. I may actually vent the back of the scoop with some screen. This new combo should run 135+ I can also see the top of the motor on the big end.. lol

When I run 1/4 mile I am up at 138 with mine. The rear of the hood lifts 1.5-2". I may end up having to vent mine as well. At one time I thought about adding an air pan to the carbs and sealing them to the scoop, but with no where else for the air to go, I was afraid that it would pull it off of the hood.

Have you ever ran your car without the hood? I was gonna test that and never did. I was curious what effect that big parachute has on et.
 
Never ran mine without the hood. The air pressure is tremendous though. My lexan windshield flexes in to the point that I need to brace it. At the end of the season I found a spot I couldn't clean off...... turns out it was on the inside where the windshield was flexing in and rubbing my tach! I can imagine what it might like inside that scoop.

I did the same thing on my 67 belevedere w/ a 66-67 superstock scoop. I installed a hood pin in the rear center of the hood and pretty much stopped it===3 on each side.
 
Im planning on putting on a 68 hemi scoop on my 65 dart . Im going to use 5/16 or 3/8 aluminum fuel line them polish the pieces and use chrome or stainless steel carriage bolts with the round heads
 
i used brake line its cheap and easy. also ran car without hood. for some strange reason, when i ran it, it felt like the front end rattled a whole lot. sort like the hood was holding it together.
 
It’s funny, most of the cars had them when they left Hurst but some did not. I made my own using 3/8” fuel line and 5/16” pan head bolts.

Badass Mopar !
 
No need to drill through the scoop. 1/4” carriage bolts can neatly be fibreglassed to the underside of the scoop and various types and sizes of tubing can be used for a height spacer between the scoop and hood.

1/2” aluminum tubing spacers
