I was thinking of cutting the hole the same shape as the scoop but 1 inch smaller. Thoughts?
R U doing this for fresh air for the motor or engine cooling ?

Looks best with the cutout in the same shape as the scoop.
Depending on how far back you place it you may be also be cutting into the rear brace. I had to on my 69 because of the crossram. I them reboxed it as this portion ties into the hinge area.
I also made a very small notch on the rear flange to help the scoop bend and then filled it.
Scoops are made for the flatter 68 hoods as you know 69's are shaped a bit different.
Good information, thanks.
I'll see if I can mount it far enough forward to avoid the rear brace.

I would cut it out a tad bigger than the air-cleaner ... that scoop will sure help performance.
Maybe I'll build a plate to seal the hood to the air cleaner.

Last one. Too bad you aren't closer. I would have sold you this one if you liked it. Dallas

Can't you hand deliver
Hopefully it won't take me too long to cut the hole and install.
Thanks to all for the help and ideas.
