    I am not aware of any teardrop hood for the Fox Mustangs that is available for any vendor at this time.

    You can find the teardrop scoop on Ebay and other places and probably make your own if so inclined. Otherwise, not sure what other options there are for you.

    Personally, I am not sure how the scoop would look on the 83-86 hood since the center of the hood widens to match the cowl as it goes rearward. The Teardrop is just the opposite of that. Might look cool and then again might just be a mismatch. I am not really sure either way. I was never a huge fan of the teardrop hood/scoop anyway, so I might be a bit biased in that regard. Good Luck!

    Thanks Trey... I think that a teardrop would look cool... I might have to fabricate one out of metal and weld to hood...

    You may be correct. I won't be the first nor the last time I was wrong. Good Luck!
