Older Superstock GT cars with scoops

Had a debate with one of my SS AMX buddies tonight. He disagreed with me and I said I would throw it out for discussion. I say with the SS/GT rules (1980 and older vehicles allowed), you can take a factory & NHRA / IHRA approved SS car from the 60's which had unique factory hood scoops (T-Bolt tear-drop, SS/AMX, HEMI A-Body, etc.) and run any SS/GT allowable engine. So you could have a T-Bolt car with a 289, a SS/AMX with a 290 and a '68 Hemi Dart / Barracuda with a 273 as examples. Assuming of course the materials of the scoop were correct as allowable.
And that leads to items like light-weight glass, seats, etc., the entire SS package other than a different engine.
I think there are some pretty cool ideas that can spring from this.
