Does anyone know if there is someone out there that makes a lower profile, 2" cowl hood for a '71 Duster?
Searching around at the usual vendors you find mostly 4" + but not 2". Just looking for a little cool-guy style and a functional scoop, not a huge fan of larger scoops. I do actually need a little clearance with a taller intake so it would help with that too.
I bet I could have one made by someone but just wanted to see if there was an option somewhere.
Thanks,

Was recently looking into the same thing for a Dart...No luck really.
Will end up buying a scoop and bonding it to a flat glass hood, or making a mold myself for a smaller scoop.
Good luck!

I thought about making one myself. How strong do you think it would be if you bonded a scoop on then cut out the section under the scoop? Guess you could cut a u shape from the back edge to where you wanted it and leave the rest for strength.
Looked at the Unlimited page but they don't have an image of their 3 1/2" scoop on a hood. To me, 3 1/2" seems like it would be close enough to 4" to not make any noticeable difference in appearance.
2" just appears more subtle to me and gives a sleeker appearance. I don't need that much clearance either, seems like it would be a lot of extra unmetered air above the carb.
I bought my hood for the Rampage from AAR.. all they offered was a 2" cowl, I wanted a 6" cowl... but they would re-do it to a 4" max so I had them do that... I would think any company would modify a hood for you... calling does wonders
