I've been putting off sealing my 6pak hood for 2 years because the carb sits above the hood line, I thought it would be hard to do but I mocked it up with cardboard and it turned out to work fine with a flat piece of aluminum. Thanks for the awesome piece of aluminum by the way MrPbody! I will eventually bond this to the bottom of the hood with a hole in it for an air cleaner so I can run it on the track the same way as the street but hopefully next saturday I'm gonna track test this huge pan.  I modified the return spring slightly so it won't hang up on the pan at full throttle. I also made a bracket to hold it down to the carb at speed, and I'll be testing jets with the pan too. I'll let you know how it goes!

I am just in the process of making one for my Dart, the pan is even larger than yours due to the size of the hemi scoop.
What type of foam have you used.

Mine was worth a tenth and a little over 1 mph. In the cooler night air it really picks up around 1000'.
Yeah, it's got a smallblock.

Did I mention I love your "new" car?
Thanks, after installing a different motor, tranny, wheels/tires and every nut bolt and bracket on the car I'm finally starting to enjoy it.

Looks like it will work good. On my sixpak hood I glued a piece of lexan to the bottom of the hood then used a standard Moroso pan and made a hole in the lexan accordingly.
Have a Pic.

Doesn't have to be aluminum; I made mine from some thin plywood (3/16" or 1/4") and it worked fine. In fact, the insulating effect of the wood made it easy to feel on the hood exactly where the plate was underneath --> much cooler to the touch.

Bob, back when I had a six pack hood on the cuda, I made an air pan for it that was VERY similar to yours. It was worth a solid tenth and a little over 1 mph in the 1/4. That carb spacer is on the way.  CHIP

Looks great! Can you share the dimensions you came up with for the pan? How thick of aluminum did you use?
Ummmm, I don't know, and I don't know. Hope this helps you.
 I'll get some dimensions tomorrow.
