Default Cowl Induction hood?

I'd like to see what you guys are using and I'd like to find out if any company sells just the under hood cowl piece that could be bonded to the under side hood. The L-88 type with the hole for the air filter to sit up in.

I used to have more of a NASCAR type custom air box. But without some kind of motor cross frame plate mounts it would have just eaten up the top of the firewall.

Even some kind of tray box with thick rubber around the top might work fine for a hood seal and allow for some movement.

Cold ram air is supposed to give you a couple of % more hp

thats the l88 hood I have the 67 replica stinger hood. Oh maybe the air chamber would fit. Hmm I hadn't thought of that.
