Big Block Hood

Does anyone know where I can get a Big block hood, or is there anybody who sells them just the scoop without the hood so I can mold it on? Heres a pic:

You could always just make a template of some sort, and cut out the 2 corners for the flip up lights... I was considering that too.

I bought this hood. I've seen hoods from other companies and I think the quality of this hood is excellent. It bolts on very easily and fit pretty good. I only had to do a little sanding on the bottom side of the front to get it to fit a little better, but it wasn't a big deal.

are the flip up headlights the only difference between our hoods and the camaro hoods. i thought that our hoods had a slightly steeper rake to them, but i could be wrong.

The RAM AIR hood looks good on the Firbirds, but the BB SS hood looks looks good on the Camaros....I don't really like when they switch the hoods.....they don't see to go with the car.

The "Big Block" is a version of an old Corvette hood, if im not mistaken... so really, it could go on either car!
