Peter took out a magic marker and drew an oval shaped opening on the nose of one of our 289 cars that didn't have an oil cooler scoop in it (as by then we knew our oil cooler scoops were not correctly shaped so we quit putting them in).
He just exclaimed, "THERE, CUT THAT HOLE IN THE VALENCE!"

I'm with Pete on this one...
I think, as well, that any formed and molded
oil-cooler scoop, ala 427-style, on an FIA replica is modern and incorrect.
Remember that there only was FIVE of these cars.
Looking at vintage pics of at least three of them show an opening that really looks like they just whacked a hole in the sheet metal below the grille opening.
