Hot Rods HAMB Friendly Hood Scoops, Which Is Your Favorite?

Soon to be either buying or crafting a hood scoop myself, I figured it would be a good subject to deliberate over. We all know what scoops aren't hamb friendly, so let's not bring them up for bashing. Post some pictures of your favorites and maybe it will give those looking some inspiration. Here are a few of mine.

 

For me the best looking hood scoop is the cl***ics teardrop...

 

Pick the super duty size you like

depends on if you are looking for a true g***er look the cast aluminum dual quad bolted to carbs poking out of hole in hood is the way to go - but, need blower or tunnel ram - attached are some that you could possibly make to attach to hood or mold in

 

X2 on a teardrop ( they used em on Chevy's too )

 

The L-88 version is super sweet...
Sorry, no pictures.....

 

I love a good 67 427 Vette scoop. My only issue is if I want to run air cleaners with my carbs, and I do. The only thing that will clear my setup is either a grump lump or whatever you call that streamlined looking similar scoop. I'll post a pic.

 

Baby T-Bird is my favorite style. Not too great for usefulness, but very tastefully designed.

 

Not exactly a hood scoop, but it does the same thing. For me the scoop Red Greth designed for the Speed Sport roadster over 60 years ago is the best that's ever been. A few years ago I was fortunate enough to talk Red into making me one out of the original mold. I run it with pride on my RPU.

 

like this one.

 

Nope, that one was a try, and fail.

 

Not really a scoop however...

 

big ford truck / pontiac super duty

 

Ford tear drop

 

My favorite scoop is an ice cream scoop.

 

I like all of them so far,,,,but I think Dean Lowe has it covered .
That one is fantastic,,,,perfect for what it is mounted on .
Looks great !

But he said it was a total fail Tommy.

 

Sorry 48Chev ,
I thought he meant that the failed one was in post #12 ?

Bahah! Mailbox scoop. However, that scoop/thing on the RPU is really a neat item. Nothing I have ever seen before, and will probably never see another in person.

 

Mine has always been the tall teardrop!

 

Another vote for teardrop...even on a Chevy. Sorry for the OT wheels, but otherwise, this 55 is pretty HAMB friendly including blown big block and 4-speed. I painted it for a buddy about 25 years ago and molded on the teardrop.

 

I like my surfer scoop, sunk it into the hood like a shaker



I just put this "GT 350" scoop on the Henry J

 

I really do love that style of scoop. Makes me wish my t-ram wasnt so tall!

 

I always loved everything about the Two Lane Blacktop car except the hood scoop.

 

No kidding! That is one of the sorriest excuses for a hood scoop that I've seen...but beauty is in the eye of the beholder...I guess.

 

Personally I like the old tear drop bubble hoods but they are very few cars they look right on. HRP
