Hood scoop for L6 w/4 barrel carb

Does anyone have a hood scoop for the inline 6 motor with the 4 barrel conversion? I thought maybe something similar to the Turbo Trans Am. But needs to be high enough and wide enough to clear a 10-12 inch air filter. Any ideas on what would look good? Thanks for your input!

I had the same problem, and because Z's have the high underhood heat reputation, I added a 1" phenolic spacer and a .5" NOS spraybar. I looked at everything I could think of in the way of hood scoops. They all offered clearance down the middle of the hood but nothing where I really needed it. My fix was to cut the original hood 4" from both sides and the rear and lift the center section 2.5" at the rear. I welded 1/8" rod around the raw edges and grated the openings. This fix kept the Z lines and actually completely solved the Z overheating concerns. Airflow through the hood is amazing and really helped to stabilize the car at speed. My .02 worth.
