I certainly would use the good RA hood you have for your Formula. Who cares if it's technically correct for a '71/'72 Bird. None of my cars are concours show cars and they all have 'incorrect'...

If you're keeping it very close to stock using the original log exhaust manifolds and Y-pipe (or true duals), I wouldn't go with any new HFT cam larger than the 2800 myself. You'll only have very low...

The '71 Formula hood had the AO Smith (Ionia, MI) label on it. I haven't looked for any on the '70's hood yet, but I imagine it too is an AO Smith product.
