I am going to mount the scoop on a hood that I will use for race only. I am wondering if this size scoop will flow enough CFM when I seal it under the hood to the carbs? How were these scoops used in the day? were they just an opening to the engine bay or were they sealed to the engine?

Jim, will you be bringing your DVD player and your projection screen?

Sure, I'll bring it.

I don't think anyone's mentioned that the scoop Ray's using was also used by Pontiac on some of their Super Duty Catalinas. It's also funny that they used the name "Super Duty" because that was the name Ford used on their trucks. I don't know who had the name first.
I did a search to get a photo and came across an old thread from this site that discussed the Pontiac scoops. About half way down the page you see a post by Fred, "SS425HP" that mentions the pontiac part number for a Ford part.

I'll attach a picture of a Super Duty Ford and a Super Duty Pontiac.

Great find fiberglass is fine but nothing like finding an original scoop. Now to find the nerve to cut that first hole in a perfect hood, the discussion with the wife :argue: and then finding another hood to cut on.

The other hood is in the body shop as we speak, the disscussion with the wife was avoided. :takethat

How about a stock stroke Iron block, iron head, stock rod 409? You know,,,,,a 409 Chevy engine. I'm starting to feel like an orphan here !

Ray....get with Robert at Thompson and form a Junior Varsity club!!!!

There's strength in numbers!!!

 

[jim_ss409]

I just noticed that Tony & Bonnie Salins are coming. Way to go!bang
They're bringing their 409 powered dragster. Last time I saw it they were running a fairly mild 409, I think it was running in the tens.

Fatride, I will be there burning the PURE STOCK torch stock stroke, rod, single carb, manifolds through mufflers . We all can;t be super fast

 

[petepedlar]

Well quik9r........ if it wasn't so far I'd bring my single carb, stock rod, 817 headed 409 and you and I could have our own class......... bang

I sure like all this shoot out talk....that's certainly where my heart's always been. Could be more than one class. I've been around racers a bit...how are you going to keep everyone honest? Years ago there was a nostaliga race in Wentsville Mo that ran a heads up program on the honor system....seems all the small blocks were 283's and the big blocks 396's. Boys will be boys. Remember we're all doing this to have fun! Cheers

Well then Russ.............that would make your engine a 348!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No problem.

Jim kind'a beat me to it, but this is what I was going to suggest.

Dave

Dave, were you going to bring the name tags

 

[Dick MacKenzie]

Dave, were you going to bring the name tags

Got it in hand Jim. Guess I should list everyone I've gotten a commitment to be there from so I can make a name tag for anyone I currently don't have on the list.

Dick, now I remember, see what turning 60 does to you

A stock stroke 409 shootout sounds good to me Ray. At only 40 over, my 417 cubes seem like a small block anymore.

Super Chevy

Good New's Guy's, Super Chevy is sending John Moore a photographer to Thompson Here's the E-mail I just received

Hi Jim -

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is John Moore, a freelance photographer for Source Interlink Media and more specifically, Super Chevy Magazine. I have been asked by my editor, Jim Campisano, to attend and cover this event for Super Chevy.

Would you please forward to me any information that I need for press credentials for this event and let me know where the host hotel is for the event? I am planning on shooting a ton for the pages of Super Chevy including a majority of the drag racing action. While there, I hope to find many nice vehicles for future feature articles.

Please let me know the details and I look forward to meeting you.

Regards,

John Moore
