That is one big ass hood... That is what happens when you put chevy power under a ford hood... No offense.

Nice looking ride.

The hood scoop purpose was for the 8" k&n air cleaner and this hood scoop allowed room for the dual quads (duel 750 edelbrocks with back jets drilled out) / you know these street cars can't get enough air , I looked into the fiberglass 2 1/2" cowl would had fit a standard air cleaner .The times that I posted is at lapeer ,this sbc car did awsome there , the bbc mustang had traction problems ,but it was a bolt in 9 " with aftermarket bars ,bags , roll control , 90/10 front struts, coil over kit ,aje k member, -- this one ran 9.81 et @ 141 mph with a 1.42 60 foot at lapeer .This car had a facelift later 87 nose and grey primer raced at lapeer and went to PINKS ALL OUT at us131 2009 / was tons of fun in the F class racing there .Thanks for the interest

more info on the car? i cant seam to find anything on the g body headers you used...

565bbccarbed · 03-26-2010, 08:16 PM

This is the link to the headers that I used (with a stock k member , but cut the flat webbing out on the back side of the original k member ) the first time -- http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Garage...ain,42966.html .Then the second time I messed with the sbc stroker in the mustang I had a set of 72 GMC truck headers (headman) that I changed 3 tubes on the drivers side and lightly dinged the outer tubes on the passenger side to a AJE k member .I hope this helps

thanks i have a friend who is running a sbc in his hatch and the headers are a joke...

The clipster ones have a 3" outlet collector / and the other truck ones I used had that too .The one picture is the

565 bbc in the same car as the small block chevy (4 pictures to show details that are important ) with the 72 gmc fullsize chevy truck headers with mods done to them , but it does show some other things like alternator / motorplate / clearances /and others too . Good luck
