Absolutely! If you don't like it, don't do it. AMC dude, AMC. (Ain't My Car) applies here. I happen to personally hate forward hood scoops, it's a personal thing, I'd rather just have a flat stock hood but I needed clearance on the Scamp and a 73 Charger power bulge hood just isn't available so it got a Jegs scoop. Is that a brand x part? I hate to see how I'm going to get slammed if I put a 9" rear in the car or a powerglide. Sad, just plain sad.
How about these wheelie bars, are they considered non Mopar? Or the cage, or four link? How about the Strange struts and brakes?
Oh damn!!! Dip me in honey and throw me to the lesbians, those tail light lenses are not original Mopar!!!

Agreed! I did the same thing, and while it looks good now, it took way too much time and money to make it worth anything. Do NOT buy from Unlimited/UP21.

Hey guys, I was not trying to start a hate war, because believe me I HATE chevy just as much as the next guy. I grew up in a Mopar or nocar family. I was just asking about a simple scoop type hood because I am building a turbo /6 that will sit a little to high and I definetly do not want to run with no hood.
Also thank you ramenth.
And outsider, being a "senior" member, you would think that you would present yourself with a little more professionalism and be a little more mature when someone brings up an idea. After all that's what forums are for, to ask questions and get answers. Not be a dick to everyone because you think you know everything.

cowl hoods are kinda played out in my opinion. there are better looking/more tasteful options out there

Maybe you could show azdurango some examples. I know I'd like to see some too.

Yocar before Mopar. I think cowls look good on all cars. Just not the tall ones. Shaker is best looking IMO. Yo(ur)car your choice.

I wasn,t going to comment on this.ButWill someone show where a Cowl hood makes a differance in performance.Even the chevy guy back in the day stoped using them.They just became popular in the ten yearson fords.Even the famous bill jenkins who started Cowl hood went back to front facing hood scoops.Also why do you want to look like someone elses car.A dart with a Cowl hood looks like a novaMaybe it,s me but I like to look differant and mopars are rare and have there own look.I just can,t see me going down the street with my barracuda and someone asked what year is that mustang.

You know, it doesn't make any difference. Each person has the look that they want from their car, regardless of make, model, or whatever, and its their choice as to how they achieve that look. Cowl hood, 9 inch ford, whatever, its the OWNERS choice. I answered his question and provided a source for not only the cowl hood but other options for MOPARs on the same site. Whatever he decides, good for him. Just don't let someone elses rantings dictate what you want to do with your car. Its the owner that has to be happy with the look and to hell with what anyone else thinks!!!

since you are only needing a bit of clearance, and the scoop isn't really there for functionality per se, how much height do you need to gain?
can you Plumb the turbo so it isn't so high?
have you considered a repop Max Wedge type scoop, it would look more period correct for the car, and save you from making your car look like a Nova.

i do really beleive in keeping a mopar all mopar and a ford all ford... etc. BUT when i buy ur first car to do anything to what did u do? well i know i wanted it to be the coolest and most unique car at my HS. isn't that why we are mopar guys and gals?! because we broke the norm of ford and chevy and cough import. i'll admit i had a friend with an 80's fox body and he was junking it and so i got the scoop. and to be honest it matches the hood and car design. My point is that a car is part of u and unless ur gona let somebody tell u who u are do what u want how u want
thats my 2 cents

Look you little dilhole... I merely made a quick suggestion. I have not in any way demeaned or belittled your question. I am NOT Mopar or no car, and never have been. Why don't you go back and read my post jackass.

It basically boils down to function; not pretty cosmetics, like your wife/girlfriend buys.

Did some of you fail to read the question?
I don't see anywhere where he asked for your opinions on the cowl hood scoop on a Mopar. You guys need to sit back and relax. If you can't answer the question that was asked, don't make stupid comments. If you have something constructive to add that will help, go ahead and post it.
If you guys need a vacation, just ask, or keep doing what you are doing. We will provide them.

its funny, i re-read the question, and he asks, if there is ANY modified hood for a 64 valiant, he didnt say right away that he wanted to use a cowl. so we just made a big deal about misreading the question
