Cool Air intake design options

51AD 3100 Resto mod build. Could not find any discussions on this so I'm throwing out the question and respect your input. I have a 2005 C6 Corvette rolling chassis and driveline and tear down on truck is complete. I am in the custom frame construction phase.
Trying to plan the design of the front end and considering how I will make a cold air intake box. Looks to me like the Corvette intake which usually rolls off the front of the engine and downward then takes air from underneath the front bumper area. Any ideas or suggestions on how to configure this cold air intake to grab air in a high-pressure environment on the front of the pick up?
Possibly some custom alternative bumper filler panel or air dam placed back below-behind bumper or pull out of a wheel well?
Seems like some high pressure areas are right on the front lower part of these trucks and base of windshield.
Another option, possibly repurpose the cowl vent at base of windshield? I was planning on closing that up but might be able to use it for a different purpose like this. Maybe even use the panel that comes up like a scoop or reconfigure it to grab more air?
