Douggie,
I'm with Thumper, I wouldn't change it. You do have a return spring set up on that Dominator don't you?

I am fan of the original 65 A990 Hemi scoop. I think its the best looking scoop for that car. Course you will need the raised modern one. Look around here on Moshers under .........Finished cars and then under 65 Plymouth. Ron

I'd 3rd the vote to just leave it, it works with the lines of the car really well, and it looks like you need the height to clear the dominator + spacer + victor intake. Any of the low profile scoops (like the original 65 A990 scoop, that does look better) would have to be raised anyway. At that point I'd keep what's on the car as it isn't going to look substantially different. The bump in the middle of yours adds character.

Here's my buddies 64, We took a 5" scoop and cut it down a little but works.

I'd 4th the vote! Nice clean / clutterless engine bay

Doc...I like yours as is!

My junk has the Hemi hood scoop. I also have a Victor intake with a dommy and a 2" spacer..Not a lot of room but it clears!!

this is sled city's AFX hemi scoop... i like it because it doesnt sit so high in the back like others. From what i hear he is making the max wedge one (like you have) but tapered like this one. I have no idea when he will have it ready though.

The MW one is available now and I have one on my car. Maybe I can get a pic of it later and post it.

Thanks Casey, The new max wedge scoop is in stock and already winning races. They are a bolt on like my other scoops and we guarrentee against blow offs and cracking. I have one on my 62 Plymouth wagon. If you are in need of this scoop, just give Sled City a call @ 1-614-875-0369

Maybe some Boyce Racing logos on the side would look good

First of all, that's a great-looking car.
The Sled City scoop is the '65 A/FX (AWB) version of the '64 1/2 Hemi scoop, which was also used on the '65 RO/WO (non-AWB) cars. Personally I prefer a '65 scoop on a '65 car. I admit it's a personal hang-up, like Max Wedges only being in '62-'64 cars and '65 cars needing Hemis, so by my "logic" I've just spent another $20,000 of your money!
