Melborn Hilborn-Style Injector Air Scoop | 4-Hole Mechanical & EFI Fuel Injection

Melborn Hilborn-Style Injector Air Scoop – Mechanical & EFI

The Melborn air scoop is a tribute to two legends of mechanical fuel injection: Mel Scott and Stu Hilborn. This design merges the iconic Scott “Super Slot” scoop styling of the 1960s–70s with the proven Hilborn upright 4-hole injector base.

The inlet opening has been enlarged by 10% to precisely match the airflow area of four 3" Hilborn butterflies—while maintaining the classic Super Slot proportions. The result is a properly matched, period-correct injector scoop that bolts directly to your Hilborn system without separating from the injector base.

Whether you're building a nostalgia dragster, altered, gasser, or EFI-converted mechanical injection setup, the Melborn scoop delivers authentic vintage styling with optimized airflow performance.
