I went to Class Glass today to pick up another hood, and talked to Bob about hood vents.
He said that he makes some 7"X7" NACA hood scoops that allow air to enter if they point forward, and pulls air out if they face "backwards".
Meaning if the pointy end is the trailing edge it would suck air from the engine compartment. Like on their Bonniville Racer.
Here is a link to their NACA ducts on the side of their racer.

He can make them smaller and shallower and all though he is not ready to make another hood mold, he would graft these (or another style scoop) onto the existing SVX hoods.
It would be an extra $90.00 for two vents installed, or $50.00 for the pair if you wanted to install them yourself.
I know that I saw a dark colored SVX with two NACA ducts near the front of the hood, but just cant find the picture.
On another note I spoke with FreightQuote today to ship the hood, and there CAN be a variation in shipping prices.
The price she quoted me was for a business to business to the same zip code, not all over the country.
But still it should not be over $140.00 EVEN to LA CA!
And it was a little less to neighboring states.
All in all, good news!
More later
Tom.
