I have an older EM 427 replica. It has a glassed on scoop as part of the hood. I have a FE 427 with inline dual four Holleys. Currently I have two Stelling & Helling air cleaners. Even they are trimed down slightly. S&H aircleaners are two strips of perferated steel formed into an inner and outer ring and spot welded, with a ring of foam in between and a chromed top and bottom. I have trimmed the rings down on the opisite side from the spot welds so the tops are tapered a bit. They still touch the hood . The front 1/3rd of the front aircleaner is under the hood infront of the scoop. The rear aircleaner touched the rear part of the scoop. What I had pictured is a larger scoop a little taller, longer, and wider mounted backward to make a cowl induction scoop. If I were to open the hood any more forward with a forward facing scoop, it would let any rain come in on the distrbuter. I'm still looking for that perfect scoop that willlook some what appropriate and let me improve my induction setup.
