Yes carbs are too close. What are the options for a hood? Nothing against the guys that have the hemi type scoops but is there something different?

Did you have air cleaners on it?You have to have a flat hood with the carbs popping up thru and put the air cleaners on it..you will have to much turbulance without the air cleaners..
Think about it..you have a big motor with big carbs and a big intake..needs alot of air to get it moving..
It probably goes 600 feet and quits pulling..been there done that...cowl hood take alot of R/D to get to work...

I feel your pain when it comes to hoods/scoops, etc To stay under my hood, I can't run a spacer and I use a dropped base air cleaner so it don't suck a rock in and all that means is can't get it to work right and throttle will not go to WOT and yes we tried some things and not done yet but it slows the car down If you want it to look like a certain era and use certain parts, it limits you . I highly doubt that if the old guys could of went super fast without altering wheelbase and 100 other things they did they would of , we look back and now it looks cool but, then I'm sure there were people that didn't like to do it I do agree on the bigger, pro style scoop for getting those carbs in clean air but, that should not cause it to backfire not start ,etc

hhmmm, i never run a hood 
Should try one, think about the wind just hitting that firewall. Your like going through the air with a 2x6 piece of plywood on the front end. I realize an open grill lets some air in there anyways, but this also creates alot of turbulence. I took my steel hood off my dart, figured being lighter would pick me up some. It fell off a bunch. Put hood back on, same day, picked right back up.

as i said in your other post, i know a little about t/r's.when you get a scoop, make sure the opening is large enough. and make sure you position it correctly. the more clearance you have on top of the carbs, the better you are. lastly, seal the carbs., at least put a pan on the carbs to reduce turbulence.

What scoop is this?
Kinda looks like what Eddie did Shawn, aero scoop grafted to a cowl 
Yep, that's what it is. The manifold and carb was too high for the cowl so they added the scoop on top.

Show me a pic of the hood an scoop it needs.
Have you ever seen the clear plexiglass scoops? I think RT540 had one and I saw cars in Orland with them. They don't detract from the car or hood since they are clear. They have a good size opening too.

I feel your pain, my scoop looks like I'm trying to catch something other than air. My Older hood scoop didn't have enough clearance, you could actually see the scoop getting sucked in, like the carb wanted to eat it.
