If this is the Buick V-8 "F" motor I would build a nice removable scoop.
That way you could try different scoops like cowl induction, a front facing
design, or what ever.

Subject: to scoop or not to scoop. That is the question
> We are finally back on course with our TR8 Triumph. Our induction system
will not fit under the the hood. There are a number of ways to resolve this,
obviously. We can cut the hood and leave it open with finished edges, we can
add a bulge as KT did on the Camero, we can add a scoop facing forward, or
we can add a sxoop facing rearward. Our F motor uses a single duoble pumper
carb. If the scoop is open forward, will the wedge front shape push too much
air into it? And reversely, if we face it reward will we get enough?
