Hood scoopes

Terry,

This thread has my interest. I am building a 68 Cyclone with a 428. I presently have a scoop I ran on the street, which is a stang scoop, because the Merc version is a little harder to find. The Merc is wider and taller.

My question is do I have to run the Merc style? Do I have to run the ram air with it? Can the scoop be a replica(ie: easier to find and easier on the wallet)? Can the hood be a non ram air hood made to fit and operate as the ram?

I appreciate all comments on this.

Steve
