Thats what my buddy did, his is a black 69 chevell also. What he found out was he couldn't see around it or any thing on the right side of the car while driving it, a real danger in the pits. So he cut it down so it was about 2" higher than the carbs and refiberglassed it on. The Chevell pictured has a 4" cowel , isn't yours 6'? take that into consideration on scoop height.
