Tapered Front Hood Scoop Short 3-1/2in

The Tapered Front Hood Scoop Short 3-1/2in by Allstar Performance is a compact engine bay air intake solution designed for street cars, race vehicles, and engine swap projects where underhood space is limited or OEM hood modifications are impractical. This short hood scoop serves dual purposes: drawing cooler ambient air directly into your intake manifold or carburetor while adding authentic functional styling that signals serious engine work.

The 3.5-inch height makes this scoop ideal for vehicles with tight hood clearances or custom fabrication where full-height scoops interfere with engine components. The tapered profile redirects airflow smoothly into the intake tract, reducing turbulence and improving volumetric efficiency compared to unsealed intake systems. Allstar Performance's construction delivers lightweight durability—at just 1.6 lbs—meaning minimal impact on front-end weight distribution while maintaining rigidity under aggressive throttle application.

This hood scoop is ideal for restomod builders, drag racers, and street performance enthusiasts running carbureted or fuel-injected engines seeking temperature-sensitive intake air. The compact 15.9 x 5.2-inch base footprint accommodates a wide range of hood styles and engine configurations without requiring extensive cutting or reinforcement. Whether you're building a hot rod, streetcar, or competition vehicle, this tapered design bridges the gap between pure race functionality and street-driven aesthetics.
