Here is a pic of an enlarged T/A scoop on my buddies 70 Challenger. Under it sits a RB 496 with a victor and 1 in. spacer. He uses a 14x3 air cleaner element in a drop base. It came from VFN.

The VFN is nothing like the Landy which is essentially a raised base and possibly slightly sectioned and heightend T/A. The original Landy scoop is a work of Art. The VFN in simply a sectioned/raised t/A but when this is done most of it's T/A aesthetic is lost.
Notice how much higher the Landy is above the hoodline compared to a standard T/A. Landy always had the coolest cars, I guess it was that SoCal thing.

For whatever this is worth: I like the tall Landy scoop in the very first picture. I'm not fond of the "bump" on the modified TA scoop and I really dislike the VFN version. Yeah, pretty much my thought, too. I found some more pics of both the "restored" hood and what Landy actually ran in '71. The "restored" version looks great, but is far more modified (as others have pointed out) than simply adding the raised area over the carb(s) like Landy actually did. The approach I spoke about with the local fiberglass guy was the latter, as I'd photo-shopped on my own car.
