Unless you're backing some serious HP, I wouldn't do it.

They dont fit the lines of a 3rd gen at all

And since your sporting an LT1 it would be non functional and just in the way of your view

I wouldnt bother if I were you

The view is not important.as long as i can see the fear in the eyes of those stang drivers.And actaully i need the extra clearence to fit a one inch spacer.Then i was thinking could use the k&n flow through air cleaner top with a plenum sealed to the underside of the hood.that way i'm only getting cold air.

lt1 engines are fuel injected and no scoop is needed. Furthermore if you're talking about a 70s lt1 carbed motor, i'd just get a cowl scoop and mold it to your hood if you're going cheap about it

12.6 is definately not worthy of a prostock scoop
though they look great on prostock cars ;they don't look good on any street car.
