Merge the two options?

Use the 59 emblem perimeter w/the vent style insert? Some sort of mesh material as the 'screen'?

I like the vent, maybe with a more modern screen

Both look good, I lean towards the V8 one.

I Like them both.
Depending on the modifications done the the stock hood to get it to the decision point and what my resources are and as crazy as it might sound, I would do one of each. That way you can change things up a bit and keep people scratching their heads.
