It appears to me to be an illustration, so may only be available in the artist's mind. I think it looks like a reworked LT-1/454 hood that has the top "vents" surface smoothed and then the front slope opened. Could also be a little taller than the stock hood bump.
The hardest part was getting it to look right, as the engine is not centered, and the hood has some challenging curves. Yes the hood scoop is real, I'm running a carb, the underside of the hood, is like a real 427 - the air cleaner sticks into the scoop.
Speedway Motors has a number of hood scoops , can be done at home, I did it.
"In Africa I had got this fantastic idea for a fiberglas car when I saw a picture of Henry Ford beatin’ the trunk of one o’ his new ’41 Fords with a sledge hammer and it wouldn’t dent. Ya could’a knocked me over with a feather. It was also very cheap! It could also be done by people with little or no talent and I had both."

That was Henry Ford's soybean car! It was soybean fiber in a phenolic resin with formaldehyde used in the impregnation.
If that's the look you want, there is also the stinger hood, though that is a single intake.
Given the placement, it will force cold air into the engine compartment behind the radiator. While this may help get cold air to the air cleaner, it will reduce radiator efficiency. YMMV.
@Denpo's thread shows how he made his own dual-outlet hood, that is both functional and beautiful.
Thanks for Denpo’s thread, what he did on that hood is cool. What I decided to do is just finish my standard 70 hood. My goal is to get this project on the road by end of this year. Then get a second hood and look at designing something that looks like what I want from the rendering.
