Not as common on the SBC, but nice.

Common can be boring.


How about a SBC cross ram like on the 302DZ that was an option on the early Z 28s?

Dz 28?
 
Sure, sounds good, also sounds pricey and rare. Not that four webers would be cheap.

So it's settled then, no. 2 it is. Then I'll make a nice flower pot out of the Hilborn scoop for my wife since she bought me the smaller breather for Christmas.

She knew, but pretended not to, so as not to offend. She's nice like that, pretending that she thinks I'm smart. I'm sure this only happens at my house, right?

No scoop. That looks like you are pretending you have a blower ...

Hilborn style scoops belong on superchargers with dual carbs. No offense, just my .02.


maybe a tunnel ram but velocity stacks look wicked on those.


Yeah, I grew up in the 70's.SmileWavy

Exactly why I voted #2.

I've always thought that the Hilborn style or these

Just seemed wrong if they weren't on a supercharger.

Very cool!

I was surprised when I first saw the whacky crossrams that came on various Chrysler products. The first one that I ever saw had a single tiny carb on either side, but I think it was also a stock setup from something in the 50s.

Holy Batwing!! That is a seriously good looking street rod. If it's yours, it's a beauty!

Have you considered "that" instead?

Scoop is goofy unless comes through the hood or has a blower.

I vote for 'those'...

I am also in the camp of feeling a scoop looks goofy unless on top of a blower or through the hood.

However I also would agree that anything on that engine would look good.

On the other hand... what were we talking about? SQUIRREL!

Prefer the second one, but not a fan of the size or the fins on the top.

I'd vote something more basic...
