I have the dual carbs. They use 8 1/2" air cleaners.They could use an extreme top or equivilent.They stop at 9".
The original scoop was an after thought when areodiamics was realy getting started.A lot of the builders have thought hard and come up with alterations. On the Shelby comp series they use a larger scoop that has some resembelance the original .I've seen a recreation fo what I was told was the twin suppercharger scoops .It was wider taller and came forward more.The cover car on Summit Racing is a car with a larger higher flow through design ,probably works as cowl induction at speed.The hood scoop was on the original 37 or so SC's.The street roadsters didn't come with scoops.but many were converted.
I'm not happy with my EM scoop. The tunnel wedge 2x4 makes even 1 3/4" tall Stelling and Helling's hit.The front edge under hood and rear at back.If I were in a position( Like going to paint)Change that scoop in order to get the air cleaners up into the flow.I'm still waiting for a couple of extreme tops for my two 8 1/2" cleaners
