Has anyone reversed the twin hood scoops for a cowl induction effect?

In the process of rebuilding my 68' Dart. Came with the dual hood scoops. Would like to install a hood tach on like some of the Plymouth Road Runners which got me thinking about reversing the twin hood scoops All three then from the front, in same color, would appear as bumps on the hood with facings toward the driver. Less of a distraction in appearance perhaps. From other pictures it appears the scoop opening, if you could use the same holes (or modify), it appears it would be close enough to the windshield to gain the cowl induction affect. Any thoughts??
 
The Dart Scoops are long and skinny by effect.

Maybe the Dodge Daytona fender scoops would give a better look and action for your reversed effect on the Dart Hood.

might give better ground affects... air coming into the engine bay through the front creates lift at speeds.
Hood openings with negative air pressure would allow the air and heat in the engine bay to escape through the rear facing scoops... maybe?
Help keep the front end from floating at high speed and let heat out. just a thought...
 
The only benefit would be to you personally if you like that look, not the engine. Most cowl induction hoods have the air inlet in the center of the hood feasting off of the air from that part of the windshield.
