suggestion for a hood scoop on a 66?

[mopowers]

What scoop do you guys think would look nice on a 66 Dart?  I'm thinkin the hemi scoop might look okay.  I really like the max wedge scoop, but i think it may be too long for the hood and not look right.  Does anyone have any pictures of an early dart with a scoop?

[mopar stu]

i think the hemi scoop is too big.especially on a 66'.a smaller custom one would be cool,or better yet an air-grabber would be stealthy and bad ass.

I like these, myself.

I like that hood on your car, but I'm not sure if the curves of that hood would look good on a square 66.  I really like the max wedge hood.  I've been looking at these three.  I hate making these types of decisions.  What do you guys think?

[340fyd]

The scoop that I'm running was actually for a flat hood.  I had to make it fit my hood.  Those scoops are cool.  I'm not a cowl(GM thing)fan what so ever.  Really, part of me wishs that I would of went with something more period correct if you will.  Anotherwords the top one for my car and the bottom one for you car seeings it's a 66.  I don't know, I even like the mopar six pack scoop.  Ya it's a hard decision to make.

of the 3 i like the max wedge scoop.not only is it a nice design but the demensions will fit your car better,the others are too big.

 going with the max wedge scoop on my 66. The car almost looks like a mini 330 dodge anyway.

[mopowers]

66dartman, do you have any pictures of the scoop on your car?  If so, can you mail them to me at mopowers2@yahoo.com  Thanks!

Mopowers,
I like the idea of the 66-67 Hemi scoop for your '66.   Kind of "correct" for your model year.    I know what you mean.   I'm trying to blend the late model technology 6.1 SRT Hemi into a '69 cuda.    My vision for under the hood is quite clear.   My vision for the exterior is clear except for hood scoop and wheels.   BIG decisions, because they can really make or break the outcome of the car.   Good luck with your decision...
O.J.

I've always liked the Max Wedge scoop, but that's when I really got into racing and MOPARS! 
The Hemi 'Cuda/Dart Scoop just shouts RACE CAR!!!, which is OK if that's the mesage you want to put out. 
That last one has just always seemed kinda lame to me.  Just my opinions.

[abodyjoe]

i had this one on my 64 valiant and thought it looked great.

[mopowers]

You don't happen to have any pictures of your 64 do ya Joe?

[abodyjoe]

You don't happen to have any pictures of your 64 do ya Joe?

  i'll have to go through a bunch of old pictures and see i can find one...

[mopowers]

Hey Joe, if it's a hassle, don't worry about it.  I appreciate it though!

[dart44072]

Yeah Joe, I'd like to see the 64 with that scoop.

So would I , Joe, 'cause so far I'm just visualizing the looks of any of 'em.
My pref. for the Max Wedge scoop just comes from seein' 'em on my favorite cars when I was just a wee tyke!

[mopowers]

This is the one that Ron with the Red 63 Plymouth posted a picture with this hood on for abodiesonly:



Here's the link for the thread with his pictures.  I think it look slick with the 6 pack hood scoop.

I found, way down in the bottom of the site: http://www.wsracingfiberglass.com/products.htm#dodge  The "hood Scoops" section these listings:

62' - 65'    Max-Wedge 2.5"  Bolt -on / Bond-on    

                  Max-Wedge 4.5" tall  Bolt -on / Bond-on

64' & 65'     Hemi Scoop  Bolt-on / Bond-on

Now, if my memory is correct, the third listing is he one that just looks to me like the entrance to a coal mine, or something.  BIG, wide open, and no "character".  (probably very efficient, though)  The first one is what I suppose i will always think of as the "classic" MOPAR super stock scoop, with the little dip in the middle.  The second one really interests me, and I'm gonna have to see if they have any pictures of it.  Could be BIG, wide open, efficient, and with that "classic" character dip.  One day I'll see the "perfect" hood scoop for me.  Probably right after I put up the money for one I think is not "right", but will "just have to do"! 

Fussy ol' fart, aint I?  Well, it's my money, my car, and my choices!  (and so are all of yours)

It's not a scoop,  but it looks go on my early A   (64) I  got it from a Ford T brid   84 turbo coupe,  it a little dark but you could see how it looks

Doesn't look bad, but I guess I'm just too fussy. I have no interest in having any part of my MOPARs looking like they came off a FORD (or a GM,
or darn near anything else)  As far as anyone else's vehicle: Your money, your car, your choices!

[Mopartist]

I'm partial to the "cowl" type scoops. I'm going with that on my 65' when the time comes

[dc_mopar]

Hi, i have a 65 with a cowl induction scoop. yeah, i know it's chebby, but it was installed by a previous owner to clear a six pack.
i admit i never would have even considered this scoop, and don't care for them that much on chevys, but it fits the car and looks good. it kind of grows on you! i'll try to attach the pics and see if it works. note the hood center line continues onto the scoop slightly. Doug

nice,looks stock with the body lines goin up into it,

[Glow Worm]

The old "tear-drop" would be different......

[russ446]

i always liked the shaker scoop.

[abodyjoe]

Yeah Joe, I'd like to see the 64 with that scoop.

  i just looked through a ton of old pictures and can't find one...  i know there is a picture of it somewhere with that scoop...    it looks lot better then alot of the other scoops on the 64...   goes with the lines of the car good...

[dart44072]

The suspense is killing me

[fstfish66]

 my vote,,,or should i say my 2 cents would be the max wedge scoop,,,i had one   and was going to use it on a 66 b cuda,,,,but it doesnt cover  my blower,,,,

[Overdrive]

I vote for the '66 super stock scoop.

[340dart]

my dad had a 66 dart with the superbee twin scoops like the 70's dart and it looked pretty sweet  the hemi scoop would be way too much, maybe the 6 pk though

You could make this into a mini fake shaker..............................

[Glow Worm]

Why not install an "Air Grabber" off of a Road Runner.................??

That would be sweet!   

[Capt Jack]

The old "tear-drop" would be different......

funny you should mention those.  Ive been trying to picture one on my duster.  I think it could work well and give it a very different look indeed.

[65dart440pro]

Something like this? A Ford hood scoop over a Chevy big block...................
