Eliminator scoop dimensions
Curtis,
I didn't mean to belittle your choice or desire for a Boss scoop, but an Eliminator scoop is more correct for our Cats. In fact, most of the hood lines are made with this scoop in mind. The boss scoop is almost the same width from the front to the back, and if I remember correctly, it may even be narrower in the rear than it is in the front. The Eliminator scoop is wider at the rear. The flare to the rear follows the hood lines on my 71-73s perfectly. It even had the correct notch to clear the center hood ridge. If you want to see what an Eliminator/Cougar GT/Comet GT scoop looks like on my 73, you'll have to look back in the archives for my pic of Alpha Cat. I believe someone also had a pic of the scoop on their 71GT somewhere.
Anyway, I went out into the 12 degree barn attic and measured the scoop on Alpha Cat's hood, just in case you want the dimensions of it.
At the base, or hood, it is 20-1/2 inches wide at the front and about 25" wide at the rear. It is 25-1/2" long. It is 1-1/2" tall at the front, and only about 3/4 or 1" high at the rear.
OK guys, what about the Boss 429 scoop dimensions? My buddy's Boss '9 is in storage for the winter so I can't easily measure it right now...
