I have a 1970 2 door post Belvedere with a .30 over 318/518 four speed. I have added a 8.75" sure grip rear, frame connectors, electronic ignition, power steering, SSBC disk brakes front and back, flaming river steering col and much more. I want to add a chin spoiler and nascar style rear spoiler along with a 6-pack style hood scoop. I was wondering if anyone made metal hood scoops and spoilers I could add to my car. I think I am going to have to make them. I don't like the look of adding a fiberglass hood scoop to a metal hood and I hope I am right to assume that a 6-pack style hood was never made for the 1970 models. I am going to add a 440 small block soon and I am only left with these body modifications and I will be good. Any information would be nice. I would love to make the side scoops functional but I don't feel the work is worth the reward.

Correct. Never made 1969 6-pack style hood on a 1970.

For the front spoiler there is Spoilers by Randy online. But IMHO the most cost effective and most durable is using a 69 Camaro ABS front spoiler with fabbed brackets under you front bumper.

For a rear ducktail spoiler, you will have to make. Google images of 1970 Road Runner Nascar. And look through this thread: https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/show...e=1&fpart=1 There are pictures of 70 RR's with small rear spoilers.

no 6-pack scoop on a 70 please! I bought a chin spoiler for 69 Z28. I haven't mounted it yet but it looks like a good fit. You can get them on 'bay for $40 and up.

Are you happy with the performance? Would you do anything different?

I've had a 1st-gen Z28 ft spoiler (on a '64 Corvair, actually, where it was quite effective) and as I recall it had a fair amount of V shape to it; might not fit a '70 RR ft bumper very well. Check on that before you spend $.
As for hood scoops, to my eye a cowl hood mimics the '70 RR/GTX hood bulge better than anything else. I always liked the Olds 442 under-bumper intakes that connect to the air cleaner with hoses - kinda stealthy - but the hoses are a tight fit on a Mopar, and require a dual-snorkle air cleaner. But it's your car, do what you like; I'm just throwing ideas out there.

I'd go for the NASCAR look. Don't think a hood scoop and chin and trunk spoilers would look right together. I like the stock car look,kinda low same size wheels and tires all around. Like it's been said,your car do it like you want.

My issue with the hood is clearance. I hope anyone that owns a 70 Belvedere understands that. I agree with staying stock but I would not be the first to do something like this. I am a big fan of road racing and I really like the looks of a chin and tail spoiler. It was done on superbirds and daytonas back in the early 70s. To each their own. Thank you for the help and believe it or not I do understand staying pure to the original design. If I am going to spend the price of a new Corvette on my car I am going to make what I want and how I want it to look.

Digger73 thank you very much. I had no idea there was a company out there that made a hood for my Belvedere. This is why I use this web site. Mopar people are the best. Thank you again.

FWIW I got my hood from them.. Mine is Pin on race weight and it's thin!. You might have enough room w/ a flat "glass" hood. As it has less structure/bracing under it. What intake carb?

Naw they didn't ALL have chin and tail spoilers and the short track cars didn't All have wings and nose cones in 70. I just think a six pack scoop would look out of place.

I agree the 6-pack hood would look out of place but what wouldn't. A higher then stock top end of any engine just has a hard time fitting under a stock hood. I am just going on my 40 years of TV, Magazines, etc. that shows several 70 b-body RR/GTX with custom tails and chin spoilers. I know what comes on a Superbird and Daytona. I would like to think that anyone that likes mopars knows what a nose cone and wing is. I am not claiming to be some know it all. I know what I see and I know what I like. Please don't take it personal or think I am some idiot that doesn't know what I am talking about.

If I could go back in time I would buy a warehouse full of wing cars. In the 70s they couldn't give them away and now they are six figures even for a rough one. I would be glad to trade but I know the answer to that one. I am doing modifications to a very nice 64,805 mile Belvedere but if it was a more wanted car I would never do it. I just can't bring myself to clone a Superbird or Daytona. I kinda feel it hurts the value of the real ones when someone clones one. Please don't hate me out there for saying that. Just an opinion. I am really proud of my Mopar Brothers and Sisters and I have nothing but respect for all of you.

unless you're going to run a tunnel ram, I'd think any small block intake carb combo will fit under a flat hood. Only reason I went w/ the cowl is because I'm using stage VI heads and a meth/H20 system. Between the 2 they sit about an 1.25" higher.
Here's the USbody hood after cowl was added.
