It is my understanding that Shelby put a small scoop on his cars. I only assume that such a scoop could be had as a dealer option. Were any of those scoops functional? I always thought of them as cosmetic "stick-ons".
I am currently installing the forth complete drive train in my 65 convertible. As everything sits right now, the bonnet I intend to use is about an inch higher than the hood. A "Shelby" scoop would probably fix the issue. But will most see it as a cosmetic thing? I am thinking that all scoops are considered suspect, but only a large cowl scoop is less so.
I could try to make a bonnet that stays under the hood; a lot of work.
Ideas?

P.S.
I am now aware of at least three first gen Mustangs that have scoops with intake plumbing sticking thru holes in the top of the scoop. At least one was pictured in one of the serious car mags.
