My 1970 Plymouth Satellite needs more fresh air to the engine compartment. I can't justify $2000+cad for a custom fibreglass hood. Below is a picture of the car, along with a close up of the hood, top and underneath. I love the A12 style scoop, but it wasn't used in 1970. I believe the Air Grabber was used. So I need some direction here. If I decide on the A12 or the Air Grabber, it will result in me cutting my hood, and installing the new scoop. What reinforcing will be required to make sure my hood remains structurally sound? The Air Grabber looks smaller, and one of the reasons for doing this mod will be installing a full size 14x3" air filter, instead of the 14x2" I'm running currently. What other factors am I missing on doing this mod? Will an A12 look really out of place on my '70? Thanks all.
