Can anyone who has an original LAT hood compare the scoop dimensions to this RS race scoop? Wondering if it is the same dimensions.

Well spotted.

Since the ad may disappear at some point, for posterity here’s what it says:

  • 36.75" L x 17.5" W Front x 14.5" W Rear x 2" H
  • Dimensions include 2" flange.
  • Opening Dimensions: 11.25" x 1.5”
It will disappear. It seems the supplier makes up a batch and when it runs out, it is out until the next batch, which may not appear for a few years. My advice, if you want one, get it now. Not next year or next month.

Anyone happen to know the dimensions of the scoop on the LAT hood? length and width.
thx!
As a side note.. The scoop shown wad part of the LAT bonnet with the naca colling vents...
There was an LAT scoop that was offered that was fitted to stock bonnets... Its the same as used om the 289 cobra...rounder, shorter and slightly taller.

I'm not sure where my scoop came from. It was on the hood when I bought the car. It looks pretty similar. 20230122_162744.jpg
