Nova L88 hood help

[COPO]

Depending on the intake, an L-88 hood may not provide the needed clearance. I was running a tunnel ram and dual quads on my Camaro and had to use a big snorkle to clear.

A stinger hood might look good with a hole cut and velocity stacks poking through.

Agreed, I do not think the L88 has the room under it for a tunnelram and carbs? Guess it depends on the tunnelram. I know my '69 BB with strip dom intake, the carb is higher than the fenders. So I think you'll be cutting the hood.

Also I'm not a fan of that "Mopar" hood posted above? Like the member have stated, snorkel style or maybe a "Grump Lump" to clear the tunnelram.

I think Schony is looking for a hood to clear this type of duel quad intake manifold https://www.jegs.com/images/photos/300/350/350-7525.jpg

Yep. That's the intake type we have.

Ken, is used good? Old and used? Nobody likes those old hoods do they?

I have some good folks trying to get a, or some new ones made with the underside inner structure. L88 hoods on Novas have always been my favorite going back to the Monroe give away car in 69. I have an old L88 hood squirreled away for a 67-69 camaro. Hope to put that on a 67 project camaro someday. Problem is I have more potential projects that years left to live.

I have 2 for 68-72 Nova Ken. I don't mind parting with one but shipping might be a pain. i think both have had repairs done over the years and one needs a repair now.

Won't two carburetors use a lot of gas ??
