Problem will be heating the charge air which could lead to detonation. May I suggest a simple hood scoop placed properly will keep the charge air from getting heat soaked. Hood scoops are cheap on E-bay and can easily bondo or welded (if metal) on your hood. Since you are in the process of doing a lot of body work, integrating one should be no problem.
