| RE: fiberglass hood? |

Well, if I've got this all straight now, you're looking for a '67 Fairlane hood, to fit your Tri-power 390?
As mentioned in an earlier response, you have under hood clearance issues to deal with. As I recall, the '64/'65 Fairlane ram air intakes were different. The '64 Thunderbolt cars used a traditional 'Teardrop' scoop, and I think the '65 cars used TWO scoops, mounted at the leading edge of the hood (or was that the Comet?).
If you'll be running the Ford long oval air clearner, I can't see why you should have any real problems. Just use a good quality duplicate of the 427 Fairlane hood, which has the Ram Air you're looking for, and an opening into the plenum area already contoured for clearancing the similar Dual Quad air cleaner.
You can get a teardrop hood for the '66/'67 Fairlanes, and the closest to the other design might be the Ram Air hood from the '66/'67 Mercury Cyclone.
All of these hoods are readily available from Crites Restorations, in Ashville, Ohio (Tel: 740-983-4777 or 740-983-2273). You can see them online at - http://www.critesrestoration.com/fairlane.htm |
