I've heard that if the body style came with a fresh air hood scoop, as well as, the car the motor was originally removed from it is OK!

That's just about the most illogical hing I ever heard.
The HP factor is on the motor that's going to be RACED, and if it had fresh air, that's a part of its factor. Depriving a motor of a scoop that was factored as a fresh air engine is changing the parameters of how it makes power and invalidates the veracity of the factor. But, I forget; it's NHRA.... the folks that gave us Hydramatics in Chevy sedan deliveries (and the subsequent total ban) and a 30+ year ban on 3-speed automatics in (some) cars that came with one (Turboglide.) I forget what kind of minds I'm dealing with, here...
