Never seen hood scoops like the ones on my '70!

I had the tooling for something like this 20 yrs. ago for the broncos but somewhere along the way they disappered.Not quite the same but these look better..JGZ

Had scoops on a '66 once- they were fiberglass

I am no bronco or car Guru for that matter, but it would seem that facing forward would still give you a ram effect. Air is all around the hood not just what is pushed over the hood edge. It doesn't completely compress or for lack of better or accurate wording it accumulates at the windshield. I have used vents similar in design on other EB's as well as a host of other cars and race cars. For what most people are wanting them for they will work just fine. I know it is forward of the WS and wont be a completely accurate comparison, but the forward facing scoop on both our 65 coupe( just sold) and the metal scoop we are having made for our 65 fastback, pack a hell of a air punch) especially when we use the turkey pan canister. Just my unebajucated .02 cents....Mo in Clovis

Ben, I think there was a thread here that talked about that. I think they said there was some dealer added scoops that came from the F-600 or similar big trucks.

You used to see them quite often on Broncos in magazine ads back in the seventies. At least a couple of manufacturers and a couple of different materials existed.

I've always thought they'd work acceptably well either direction, but would love to see some hard data at different speeds of the amount of velocity and volume pushed through the vents with them on in both directions.
That would be cool...
