Biggest problem is the shame of the hood. Most bolt on pieces are made to attach to a flat surface but your firebirds hood is far from flat. Im sure its possible but there would be quite a bit of fitment and possible body work to make it fit.

Get a stock flat hood, build a mock up of the scoop you want on it out of styrofoam blocks and clay. Take a mold from it in fiberglass use to make a scoop out of glass.

If you end up that far into it, It would be better just to make a mold of the entire hood. then make your self a new hood.

True but really isn't that hard.
