I'm looking for the measurement from the back of the scoop to the back of the hood. Thanks, Troy ....there is nothing like driving my 1968 Hemi Dart around town and having people looking at you like you're nuts!!

Remember that your "hole" needs to be and inch or two inside of that for the scoop to be bolted down and more then that in the front so you can run your spars down. I am running a AAR fiberglass hood and you may be cutting into the frame a bit and that needs to be finnished off as well. I had the motor in and then cut as to fit the cross ram. 6421530-IMG_2783_1_1.JPG (791 downloads)

My car is not here so I can not measure from my cowl forward. Thanks, Troy ....there is nothing like driving my 1968 Hemi Dart around town and having people looking at you like you're nuts!!
