if i had a scoop like that i would prefer that the top extends back from the opening, like the 67 hood, so that rain doesn't get into the engine compartment.

First picture looks like the opening is not equal hgt.
Left side (on picture) looks higher than right.

Is it just me?

I don't think there is a front opening on the first pic, just reflected shadow.

Thanks that fooled me at first glance. Now the rear deck lid open makes for a nice draft.

that's to create an underhood airflow vortex, in sync with the whirl-a-magic under-the-carburetor super fan. good for an extra 400hp and 36 more mpg..
