Default Is it possible to put a street scoop on an LT1?

This is something I've been wondering for about 2 years now. I've seen street scoops for all sorts of V8s and some for Camaros. One thing I've never seen, though, is a street scoop on an LT1 Camaro. Is it possible?
By a street scoop, this is what I'm referring to:

Not bloody likely ... unless you are running a carbed LT1 and no hood.

Look at the cowl when you pop the hood on an LT1 F-Body..it pushes WAY too far forward, actually covering most of the back two cylinders. Assuming you already have a single plane intake you would then have to cut your plastic cowl, notch the metal portion, and most likely ditch the windshield wipers to clear any kind of scoop.

We don't have much room up there!

Because it looks like something a 16 year old would do....










(Just my opinion, of course)

READ THE POST BEFORE ANSWERING. I didn't ask for anyone's damn opinions. I seriously don't give a **** if you like it or not. The only thing I asked was if it was possible to do it.

It seriously wouldn't surprise me. I can't imagine it would look very pretty considering the shape of the body. I was just curious to know if it was possible.
