Like a 70-73 Formula? If so, of course it would have to be custom. It would also be a ton of work and wouldnt really be beneficial as the scoops dont work as ram air anyway. They are too short, too wide and too far back. At high speeds they can actually create a very slight low pressure area which is what you dont want.

I thought about this and then decided not too all of the above reasons. The biggest reason is it would take huge amount of work to modify the hood.
