Hoodscoop finally showed up! - 07/18/13 01:24 AM
The custom scoop for my pickup finally showed up. Basically a hemidart scoop raised to 5 inches. It might be too big...

A shot from the side. Some trimming for fitment will obviously have to be done.

You could always put a handle on it and shovel a lot of snow in the winter..

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 ...

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

Two or maybe even THREE of them supports ... just go to a hardware store and get some 1/4x20 Tee nuts ..

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!

Yup, it's a 66-67 scoop but raised to 5 inches. I do plan at least 2 support posts. I thought it would slope more in the back. But oh well.

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.

This is the scoop I used on my Crew. My friend Brett has the truck now and he is not a hood scoop guy so he gave it back to me.

Love the OP's truck, but that scoop... I'm just not feelin' it. I've got plans kickin' around in my head to build a similar truck in the future and I know most Mopar guys don't like 'em, but I'm going to build my own steel cowl hood. I'll actually use the original hood skin as the top of the cowl in hopes of keeping that factory center body line.

Maybe just run with the hood wide open and use some cable to hold it there.
Yes, it's a little big.
Whatever turns your crank though,
. I am of the opinion hood scoops don't belong on trucks except for one: the SRT Ram. 
Let 'er rip, you'll turn some heads!

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.
