Options to cover up Shaker hood?

I presently have the CDC Shaker set up. However, I need to go to an aftermarket manifold as it has become restrictive at the power level I am at.

I don't think there will be a way for me to adapt the Shaker to the FRPP manifold, so I am looking for a contingency plan to cover the hole in the hood.

Is there a scoop(s) that will fit over the Shaker hole?

Swap or buy a new hood?

I would look to sell the shaker/hood as a total pkg. Some people may be into this so they don't have to cut their own. Then you can pickup a new OE/aftermarket hood.

If you really want to cover the hole I'm sure a cowl or scoop could be bought but the money to get it installed and looking like it is supposed to be there could be extreme.

I say the aftermarket route is the way to go and then sell the shaker unit as a complete kit.

You guys really know how to spend my money. I'd rather spend $200.00 on a scoop than five times that on an entire hood.

The Roush scoop looks like it may be big enough to cover the hole.

find you a old 69 cougar eliminator scoop- if I didnt like the shaker so much, I'd have bolted this sucker on...its going on my 69 instead though
(they look like a boss429 scoop, but lower and tapers wider at the rear)
just look for a old OEM scoop...the aftermarket ones are junk- I got one of those too collecting dust in the garage- mismatched stud pattern/'iffy' glass quality...the factory ones are nice.

The Roush won't cover the shaker hole. I had the Roush scoop prior to going with the shaker and the shaker cutout is wider than the scoop.

Turn the scoop around backwards so it becomes a heat extractor.

Can you try and trade with someone that has the same color hood?

Umm. Keep the shaker and take off the pipe that goes from the back of it to the intake. It's what I did with mine once I installed my WMS intake. The shaker no longer is part of the intake but it's still functional.
