Default who makes non traditional hoodscoops?

Who makes an nontraditional hoodscoop (for a replica Cobra)? I've seen a picture of a Kirkum with a cowl induction scoop. I could see how that might work better. I have a Dove tunnel wedge dual four intake. It putts the carbs up against the hood. I have to use trimmed down S&H aircleaners. What I'd like to do is bring an oval aircleaner up through the hoodline. I want a scoop that would provide coverage for that aircleaner, Also, Water comming in from the front and falling on the distributer would be a problem. A rear openimg as cowl scoop would take care of that. A cowl scoop also wouldn't introduce too much air under the hood. My hood is about 45 inches long, it has about 23 inches of straight edge at front and about 22 inches between the rear hood latch handles. What I picture is smooth rounded lines and no ridge down the middle, matbe about 3 inches hiigher. The rear could have notches at rear to clear hood latch handles.
