I have seen some 4" cowls for it but I dont think that is big enough. Mine now is between 3" and 4" as it tapers to the back and my carb vents are 1/2" from the bottom of my scoop. I have seen a few people with 5" 6 pack scoops that I really like but I can find any.

Thanks for the link! some sweet ones on there. Would the 5" hemi scoop or the 5" six pack scoop look better on my car?

6-pack hoods look good on 68-69 b-bodys except chargers. My 1st choice for your car would be the 5" WO scoop 2nd would be a 5" Hemi (dart) scoop

Aside from crying every time I see your car.... do you like the quality of the VFN scoop? Well made? Bolts down in a sturdy way?

ummm... worth what I paid for it. I had to grind the bottom to match the hood contours, but that left the bolt tabs below the bottom of the edges. I re-bent them with pliers and all was well. Second, I ran the scoop ONCE at the strip before realizing I required those 3 hold downs in the front. I glassed in some special perforated washer/nuts that I got from McMaster-Carr for about $2 each and added some all thread and stainless tubing. Now it's solid as a rock at nearly 130 mph. I couldn't justify the expense of a new glass hood when this was so easy, not to mention a glass hood would also need work to fit/hinge/bolt, etc.
Yes, I'd do it again.

I'll measure it when I get home. It is definitely the same style as yours, but as far as height goes, I think it is about 2 1/2 at the rear and 5" to the peak in the front.
