Sorry no measurements but here's a couple photos of original Hemi dart hoods that may help.

Anyone running a race hemi normally has the engine set back to the firewall so you may want to rethink your question as you may have issues.
You also have an issue of a incorrect sized '68 SS scoop. I've ran into this a number of times. Synergy Composites make the only true '68 SS scoop (NHRA approved dimensionally) that I know of. Everybody else copied what they thought was a correct hood scoop. Then of course there are the "outlaw scoops" which a purposely oversized.
I'm sure there are quite a few FABO members here with a '68 SS/AH scoop running a small block 340 or 318, 273 (and I assume a single carb) with no engine set back, that will be able to assist with your question.
For what it's worth my scoop is positioned 2 inches from the trailing edge of the hood but my motor is almost touching the firewall.
FYI - That scoop is going to catch some major air so make sure it's fastened down and properly braced or it will turn into a kite on you in a blink of an eye.
