I'm ready to put my hood scoop on my 66. Wondering the location (front to back obviously) to mount it. It's the 66 style of scoop on the gt350 in 66 and probably lots of other years. Any help is appreciated...Thanks, -Steve

Steve...don't know about the '66, but when I put a scoop on my '70...I popped the hood and saw predrilled round holes, on the bottom skin, where the scoops would be bolted on by dealers etc.
Pop your hood and look for these predrilled holes on the bottom side of your hood...measure them, front, back and both sides and see if they match your studs on your scoop...if so...go for it..
If not ...try Tony Branda...they do a lot of Shelby and Cobra clone parts and may have a template..
My first oem Mach 1 scoop came with a template...when I changed to a Boss 429 scoop, I was on my own.....
Had to do a lot of measuring, over and over and needed a hole saw to make room under the skin...
I also noticed that the after market scoops, don't have real secure studs...I strengthened them with good epoxy and then Lock Tighted the bolts..
They will work loose...lots of air pressure hitting them..
Good luck

My hood is a reproduction and doesn't have any marked holes to my knowledge, but even if it did it probably wouldn't help me. My scoop was originally a bond on, so I got creative and epoxied 4 bolts on to it. Sounds ghetto I know, but it's more solid than you might think... I'm going to press the scoop over a piece of cardboard to create a template for drilling, just don't know how far forward to put it (the scoop) on the hood.Also, it's nice to get a reply that quick for once... I don't think that FordSix enjoys the same type of membership as you'all. Usually takes a little while. Thanks... -Steve

I think SteveW has that scoop on his '66. When he gets online, maybe he'll be kind enough to take a measurement for you?  ------------------

Hey 66 bondo - I have a '65 scoop on my fastback - I can measure how far from the back for you. Just a thought - if you have not painted the scoop yet - the scoop I have already has the bolts built in to it.. And as far as the hood - they do not have any pre-drilled holes in it..
Here is what I did:
template in cardboard like you said
put tape on the hood where you think you are going to drill
tape template down
make marks on tape with marker
drill
*make sure bolts are not long enough to touch the air cleaner (I had this problem)
and the rest is common sense..BS

Heh, no I don't suppose those measurements would help me SCOOP... can you see the road alright??? Not too shabby for 2400!I bought the scoop with most of my parts from NPD all in one stop ($1500... OUCH), didn't realize until after that I wanted a bolt on. I think it will work fine though. Looking forward to those measurements. Thanks again guys.... -Steve

I can see the road in front of me,it's whats to my right thats not clear. These guys will come thur,for you.They have yet to let me down. Bondo special thats my car alright.It would be fast if I took off all the bondo. With some more add on's and the new tranny waiting to go in,it's more like $3000 now.I want it to stay under $8000.Just a goal I set when I got the car,and my chevy loving inlaws and made a bet with me that I could not do it.
So far they are at $12,000+ and $15,000++.And niether one can out run me. SCOOP ------------------

OK,Here it is, These are the dimensions of a fiberglass hood w/an integral scoop. From the rear forward, 2 1/2" to the rear of the scoop.
27 1/2" for the scoop itself.
22" from the front of the scoop to the front of the hood.
Hope that helps! SteveW

If you really don't want to see where you're going....put on a Boss 429 hood scoop like I did....I sit low, I'm only 5'8" and when I go over the crest of a hill, I got to lift up my butt to see where the heck the road is... 
By the way...I did the same thing...making a template out of card board and punching my studs thru it...

Well, looks like we're in business folks. Works out quite well actually. By these measurements, the front bolts will land right in the center of the brace on the bottom side of the hood. (Right where the big gap is...) Glad since I didn't bother to think about that when I was putting the bolts on... Scoop, I'd like to fit my project onto a similar budget as you. Spent 3 large so far; I've got another 3 for the twin turbo 302... out with that pesky 200. Probably another couple on audio, new paint, and miscellaneous. Anyway, thanks for the info., a very helpful forum; I'll recomend it to others... Later,
-Steve

Oops, must have worded that poorly. I don't yet have the 302 in it... still the 200. I've got a spare 302 that my uncle is giving me and lots of plans, but it will be a couple of months before anything solid. Sorry to disappoint. But if you still care... the plan is for two turbos out of the automatic turbocoupes running in a blow-thru setup. Will run low C.R. (around 7.5) forged pistons, and forged con. rods. Will run virtually all new performance components, probably a blower cam and a boost referenced fuel pressure regulator. I also will be adding a d-i-y water/alcohol injection system. I hesitate to even estimate horsepower, as there are many variables. I can update you'all as the project progresses, but as I said - it's mostly plans for the moment. I apologize for misleading you, I made it sound as if I already had a TT 302 in there, which isn't the case and wasn't my intent... My bad. Later,
Steve

I had plans for my car for 10 years before I even had it.Plans are good,and sharing them is cool.I always make three levels of plans,1st is the dreamer plan
2nd the mid level plan
3rd the one thats most likely to happen is the low budget,but still fun plan. I'll stop I know you guys get sick of me going on and on. SCOOP ------------------
