For at least some time in 1971, Dick Landy's choice of a hood scoop on his Pro Stock Challenger was a modified T/A raised behind the entry "snout" for additional carb clearance.

This is the type of modification I've talked about doing to my repro T/A hood w/ a local shop who does a lot fiberglass work. Figured I show some pics of Landy's car, one of my car "as is" and a (crude) photo-shopped version showing what I think it would look like on mine.

It would certainly expand my choice of intake manifold options, as well as keep -- somewhat -- to the original style of the car.
