I understand at those speeds aerodynamics are important but why not block off the small opening in the AAR style hood and still have the cowl opening to bring in the air?

Looks like you would have the Plymouth version of a cowl hood...problem solved.

Only problem with that is the 1st gen camaros were out from 67-69. E bodies didn't show up to the party until 1970.

What irked me was Plymouth copying the round tail light treatment in 72 to make them look even more like a Camaro.
