Re: LOTO Shootout
The scoop is a Harwood scoop. It is physically attached and sealed to the carberators. Air is forced into the scoop and creating positive air pressure the faster you went. Kind of like a turbo charger. My hatch was a U shape where scoop stay on the engine.
Another stupid thing I did was get CMI big tube headers which I had to cut my transom higher and bigger. Then I had to fill the old holes. I removed everything in the cabin except the carpeting which lightened the nose.

RJBBC,
Just keep you eyes open for a used 502. I was running a small block for years and just waited patiently for the right deal to come along. Found a sweet 502 in NY with light mods and very low hours. 548 hp on the dyno.
