Early Mustang GT Scoop on 83-86 Tbird September 04, 2008, 01:32:20 PM I have heard that you can mount a 1979-82 Mustang GT hood scoop on a thunderbird and it fits and looks good. I have only been able to find 1 picture of this modification and it was not that clear. Has anybody done this or have pictures?Thanks, Quote Selected

'79-'82, opening faces forwards... '83-'84 it is a different scoop and faces backwards....if you wanted it facing that way, why didnt you use an '83 GT scoop? Quote Selected

Early Mustang GT Scoop on 83-86 Tbird Reply #12 – September 05, 2008, 08:26:14 PM Look, I don't want to argue about the "proper" way to mount a frikken hood scoop. I liked it that way, if you don't too bad. Next time I change something on my cars, I'll check with you first, so it's done correctly. Just so you rest easy, that car is long gone, backwards scoop and all. Quote Selected
