----Graeme,,, I always wonder weather the factory chrome and black trim fits these aftermarket hoods. At least to me it would be the finishing touch.....Bill S

What chrome/black trim are you referring to Bill. I'm going to add 302 emblems to the side of the cowl but I'm lost on any other trim for a hood?

He's probably referring to the trim that goes on the Stinger Scoop like a factory 67 big block Corvette. People ask me about that all the time. I'm sure it would look nice but I don't want to deal with it

Those are cool Bill. Obviously, I didn't even know those were available as I have never owned a Vette nor have I ever really looked at the 67 stinger hood to notice that trim piece before. This hood was modified and the front was opened up to flow air through it so I don't know if one of those makes sense at this point. Perhaps something I can look at down the road. Thanks for the enlightenment on this part guys.

Hood turned out fantastic! Thanks for the update. As you can tell, we all love this car and what you are doing to it!

You can't just do a mic drop and leave it at that!!!!!

Remember in post #80 when you said "Before you know it, there will be a properly dated 302 and M21 sitting beside it all!"...well, you were right Tim (oh mighty Kreskin). Since buying the car, I've been quietly going about my business while chasing down the right parts and pieces to build a 302 for the car. Well, it took about 5 months for the right one to come together, but I bought a block last week with an 1178 crank and all the tin work. A Valentine's day 3956618 block cast February 12th and stamped V0214DZ with only a partial 19N viewable in the roughcasting. Being that the car was built in late February with a BU0224 dated rear, this block lines up being dated within 10 days of the rear end and is very well suited to the car. The transmission was still with the car in the late 80s and I do have a prior owner trying to chase down the friend who may have ended up with that transmission.

As for the block, I now need to get it shipped up from the states and will work on that in the coming weeks. Once it's here I will rebuild the short block at .030 with some high-quality internals. The 1178 crank is freshly turned .010/.010 and my plans include it being fully balanced and blueprinted with some lightweight 2618 pistons and a set of pro-stock rods with good hardware. Heads will be fully ported with the spring pockets opened up to fit some good-sized springs and I'll likely get another solid lifter bump stick from Crower.

Planning to keep it looking bone stock, but be unable to hide the fact it's really well built once it's sparked up.
