my idea for a cowl hood was start witha 72, then graft on a raised portion made from the 67. it would retain the center "peak", and you could stiffen it as needed. maybe not enough slope to the 67 for it too look right, but you never know. maybe some photochop work would help with the visualization.

as side note, my 72 hood doesnt have any supports that would interfear with cutting a hole, the supports run in a v shape towards the back, but nothing over the carb. i second the need for velocity stacks. why not go with an oval aircleaner or something not so tall? how much room are we talkin here? do you need 4", 6, 8? if you are bound and determined to cut a hole, i say go for the shotgun scoop! those are so freakin mean! in a copy of streetrodder they had a 40's willys with a hemi and a shotgun scoop in the hood, with the hood moulded around it so it didnt just stick out there. bad ass, no doubt!
