Hood / scoop on the street

So with the recent agreement between 8Liter and I to do some trading I'm going to be sporting a big block again. Victor intake with a 1050 a top it AINT gonna fit under a stock hood on this car. SO I need some idea's. I'd rather NOT use a 27 inch cowl hood, and don't want a Pro Stock style anything. Thinking about a 4 inch hood with a Lexan scoop through the hood. BUT it will have to be a hinged hood. Im not fooling with a pin on deal.

Thoughts? Concerns? Other ideas that make me look like an idiot I am open to those to.

I run a victor with a 1050, I have a 6" Harwood cowl hood but I run a 4" tall air cleaner underneath it. It's a lift off deal though. My buddy's are always at me to get a scoop on the car but I don't think I'll gain enough to make it worth the money. Here's a couple older pics of my setup when I first got the car up and running. I'm still using the same hood and air pan. Thank good my car is finally out for a paint job. 2014 Grabber blue.

I was keeping this to myself but I used 2x Boss 429 scoops, and made a Ford version of a non cowl that is approx 37" long and 4" high.
It used to have a pro stock hood with a tunnel ram.

Edit.. that didn't work.

FalconEH, any chance you could try posting those pictures again or email them to me?

Thanks!

it fit under my 4" hood with that little gt scoop. It had 3-4 inches of clearance...you can see the vent tube in this pic...

I may end up with another 5 or 5.5 hood. I just don't want a pin on...Need it to hinge.
