It's going to be a major pain to make that hood or any cowl hood functional for a 4th gen. Those are just for looks. It's a real pain trimming and fitting a fiberglass hood, unless you're paying someone to do it.

AF is Air Force, and it will never be a functioning cowl hood as you don't have a intake that the hood fits over in order for the cowl induction to feed. It may work to help remove hot air from the engine bay, but in the 60's sense of functioning cowl induction hood it will never be.
