Bryce, there is a company that makes an aftermarket version of the "Shaker" hood scoop for the 70's Cuda and Challenger, and that may be a good place to start your search. Or even the company that builds that small one for the Dodge trucks. It would be ideal if you want to stay with a "Chrysler" theme for your car. If there is no particular "theme" you're aiming at, then there are several other scoop designs you could go with.
As for any actual performance gain, I think you will be disappointed.
For an induction system to receive any benefit or (ram effect) from a scoop, it has to protrude about 4'' or more above the hood line to get above the 2 inches of "dead air".
Think Sabaru, 1969 Mopar (B-bodies) 440 6-Pack, Challenger TA's, Boss 429 Mustang's, Hurst Rambler Scrambler, Hemi Dart, style scoops and you will see what I'm talking about.
If you want something purely for cosmetic reasons like I did, then all I can tell you is I couldn't be happier with the one I came up with. I think a scooped hood gives the Crossfire a much more "aggressive" look about it, and that's what I was going for. I think it should have been part of the SRT package, and it would have helped balance out the "whale tail" IMO.
