well ive found plenty of hoods with a cowl but i dont see myself paying $600 for the hood when i only need a cowl induction scoop. ive found some scoops. but the problem is that i dont know the dimensions of the one that i need and i was hoping someone could give me a link with one or someone who already has one could just give me there dimensions. and from what i understand is that either 65 or 66 will work but it has to be for a coupe because a fastback has a longer hood.
yea a cowl is more for them ****yleys but i love the look on stangs. and the prob with taping it out numerous of times to see which would be the best fit is that my car is at the body shop and i cant get to it but one day a week. and i cant really get my body man to do it because he is on the same schedule as i am. (we work at the same place and he does body work on the side) so i figured someone has got a cawl on a 65 or 66 and could get me the specs quicker than i could figure it out.The hoods from the coupe, convertible and fastback are identical. Just take the measurements from the scoop you are looking at and block it out on your hood with painters tape. This will give you an idea of how much real estate it takes up on your hood. I would think that since there was never a cowl induction hood on a Mustang you should go with the one that gives you the look you want.

i would say yes if it was an everyday bodyshop that charges $50 an hour but my body man shut his shop down and started factory work for benefits because of his age. great man he only charges $10 an hour because it takes him so long. he calls it his sunday project.by the time your done with the body work you might be better off buying the $600 hood.
You are correct, Cowl Induction was a Chevy thing, not a Ford thing. This means you can lay the piece on the hood and install it any way you like. The more it overhangs the rear of the hood, the better it will work. The hard part will be arranging the air cleaner to deliver this induction to the engine.
Really? What are you doing that requires cutting the hood?
So, your air cleaner will pop out the hood, and the cowl bulge is really just hiding the air cleaner. I turbosupercharged a 68 one time, and the intake bypass raised the carb so much the air cleaner came through the hood about 2". I covered it with a bolt-on BOSS 429 scoop.
Functional cowl induction will require sealing the air cleaner against the hood in some way.
Plenty of high-rise intakes will clear, though. I ran one of these for years on a 66, under a stock hood. It was close, but it cleared.
you are beter off to buy the fiberglass hood , there are no specs for a mustang
cowl hood ,beause there never was one , the cowl hoods that are available are
hoods the fiberglass companys have created . bolting a scoop on the origional
hood just wont look as clean as the full fiberglass hood. it will always look like
just somthing added on, depending on the type of air cleaner you use if you have to
cut the under braces to cut the hole it doesnt look very clean. i would very much
recamend the fiberglass hood,
black is usualy easy to match metalic paints are the hardest
