Jim, I'm sure this reply will bring up several answers, but here is what my research has shown so far. In 1963 the Dodge 330 2-dr. sedan with code 709, 425 hp 13.5:1 CR engine was offered with the aluminum lightweight package. The aluminum hood also included an attached two-hump functional aluminum air scoop with two carburetor openings in the flat hood panel. The inner hood reinforcements were cut away to clear the carburetors. I have not found information for a steel bodied 63 Dodge 330 2 dr sedan produced with a scoop. There were no steel scoops. Anything other than this was done by the owner after he received the car.
