will you be adding a center post for support on the opening?
I like it. Bigger is better, and you can catch bigger birds!

Hemi Dart A body ? ... that is what it was sold to you as ? ... SURE looks to me like a way-taller 66-67 Hemi B-body scoop ...
I was thinking the same thing looking at it. my 68 Hemi dart scoop looks mucho different.
what size hole you going with under the scoop?
I went as large as the scoop to help under hood temps running manifolds,less ramair stacking up trying to rip scoop off.
so far it has been 115 mph for 5 miles with out blowing off.
I do need to get my 2 alum support post installed in the opening. it does shake around at speed but very little.
what a hole! what a hole!

FYI, you can use a carrige bolt and go from the top of the scoop down into the hood for a cleaner look. Just use a file to make your round hole square to accept the under head of the bolt.
Then you can use a plastic sleeve (or metal)for the bolt to go through to support the scoop underneath so when you tighten it down, it doesn't suck the center of the scoop down like you have.

I really thought about adding a hood scoop to my D150 but ended up putting a Spectre ram air system on instead. Its a nice chrome air cleaner with two snorkels with tubes connected to the air source, I put a 4 inch hole in the radiator support on the left side added a screen and now it pulls fresh air from behind the grille on the other side rather than make another hole and be close to the battery I just connected to the factory air intake box which pulls fresh air from under the turn signal.
