okay, that's what i thought. but not as drastic as that.

it was a long, long time ago and the guy was calling it a sunoco cowl hood. and i didn't know if that was a localized term or not. his accent and speech pattern also made it difficult to understand just what in the world he was talking about because he and his friend were like in stereo jabbering about a "sun-co bubble" and a "sun-co hood" and "sun-co cowl"

all i could tell is that it was a cowl induction hood that had a smaller, less angular look to it.

I guess a company called sunoco used to make them.So that's what people know them as.

It's going on a twin turbo blow through car. I don't want a front facing opening on a 170-180MPH car. My nitrous car has a 6pack scoop on it.

Does anyone know if anyone makes a sunoco style hood for a 72 Dart?

Years ago when I looked I think it was VFN that offered the SCOOP ONLY and you had to have it graphed onto whatever hood you bought. Even years later, It's extremely unlikely anyone makes the hood from a mold with the scoop for any Mopar. One reason being the response you got in a previous post...Most the Mopar people I know think that a mopar should have some type of OEM scoop. When in reality most of them don't work. It's your car/money ...do with it what yu want and good luck. I like that Sunoco scoop on a few different body styles of different makes. Share some pics of your cars.

I will call my friend Eric and ask him about that he will know. He worked at VFN learned how to make fiberglass molds and products. He knows a lot about what other's offered.
He opened Doctor Fibreglass in Detroit. The, V, F, and N were the guys names that owned VFN.
 
None off the shelf as I recall, VFN and Glasstek can make one though.
 
Try Unlimited fiberglass, in Hesperia, Ca.CA.
If they don't have the hood with that scoop mounted, they will probably have a hood, and certainly will have that scoop.



Any Mopar guys that complain about a cowl scoop, I tell em it's just an oversize 70 rr scoop.
