    Shaker on a 66 mustang ?

    Hey there everyone. Hope y’all have been doing good. Been keeping my head down working allot on my 66 mustang and just wrapped up most of my interior re do . Just need to do new glove box door and gauges. Here’s a picture of the interior

    For now though I’m moving to the hood. A long time ago when I was younger I sold my stock hood and got a 3” cowl induction fiberglass one. It’s ok but it just doesn’t look right to me now. I just picked up a re pro steel hood for pretty cheap and I’ve been playing with the idea of doing a shaker hood scoop on it. I’ve already got the shaker set up and was looking at ordering the template to  try and cut the hole with. Has anyone ever done this here?  If so any pieces of advice you could give would be appreciated.

    Seems to me that someone did a shaker scoop on a 65-66 Mustang and posted some pictures.  Suggest trying the 'search' feature.

    Different Terry, but Terry McGovern put one on his 66 fastback many years ago.  Terry has since passed and the car was sold.  It looks pretty good, but long term I think
    Leaving the outward appearance of a Classic Mustang as close to stock as possible is best. But then, I am an
    Old fart, set in my ways, and opinionated.  At least this scoop thing is something that can very easily be reversed. It is, in my opinion, at least 10,000 percent better than a Chevy cowl hood, though. Using more modern Ford stuff to modify a Mustang is way better than installing something that never belonged on any Mustang.
    From someone who has owned several 70 Mustangs with shaker scoops, be advised they are a pain in the butt to remove to adjust the carb, and your engine WILL get rain water on it. The worst thing was the distributor getting stuck in the block due to corrosion. 
    If you do it, coat the distributor body with anti-seize where it touches the block, both above and below the o-ring.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    Ditto on the set in my ways, opinionated Old Fart.  I had a Maier Racing cowl induction hood for several years, many years ago. I had kept my original hood, as the setup I had at the time - 250 6 cylinder with a Weber 2 bbl carb wouldn't fit under the stock one. Once that spun a rod bearing - I swapped it for the 351W in there now. I had a buddy paint my old hood and installed that - and never looked back. Never been a fan of fancy doohickeys on top of the stock hood. Just like the flat clean look. JMHO.

    Coming from someone who runs a shaker hood.

    I like the interior

    Evan, I have a Shaker on my 65 Fastback.  Send me an email and I'll share some pics and other knowledge on installing one.  Ticir1982@gmail.com
