Tear drop hood on the EB...

[ugly_od_eb]

Just wondering... do they make a universal add on tear drop scoop? (like the 64 thunderbolt) I might do it the the EB to match my dad's car (63 fairlane 500) i would like to do a cowl hood but.. like everone else i like something different ;D requesting pictures if anyone has done this to an EB...

Here is a good compare 'O' stock for stock hood and with the tear drop on, just noticed that 63-64 fairlane hoods are the same style as the EB's except a slight crease in the middle... check it out

say that summit tear drop looks like it would work on my 4bt swap hood I've been wondering what to do ....Want that add about 4 inches of hood lift ...

I have a teardrop scoop on my 76. While it adds a bunch of room for carb/airfilter changes, I don't believe it fits the style. I'm going to replace it with a Boss '9 scoop at some point. I'll post up a couple picture links in a bit.

You can see the kind of room it lends for the induction of your choice...

As you can see, it's a bolt-on that doesn't seal against the hood very well. I would bond it on with the new panel adhesives if I were to install it (but it's coming off)

Years ago there was a sweet bronco at fab fords with a teardrop hood on it. It was molded in and painted one solid color. It looked really good.The wife wanted that on her 66 til she decided on a pro flow type fiberglass hood.

I just bought a new cobra jet hood scoop from JC Whitney, and I think I saw a teardrop style in there.

jc whitney has the tear drop scoop, and from my research it is still the biggest of them so that it looks correct. Somewhere around $80.00. I have been planning to put one of them on the street truck for a while now.

just 2 more cents to add...
JC Whitney a lot of times sells crap...but the scoop I got is a good quality piece. I think the brand name is "Driver Design"...

That tear drop looks tiny as hell.... the summit one measures 36.25" long By 24" wide, im sure a larger one that is the same width as the hood "raise" will look alot better, EDIT: I measured it up on my stock hood from the front of the raise, the scoop will go all the way back to the sprayers and the width has a smaller gap in the raise than the one pictured above.
