L88 Hood for a 1979 C3?
« on: January 31, 2013, 04:30:41 PM »
Hi All,
I am sure they are quite common (lol) in Australia, but does anyone know where I would find an L88 hood (genuine or reproduction) for my 79 C3 to accommodate a high rise intake manifold?
My other option is to get a body shop to modify my existing hood. Not sure if anyone has done this but I would appreciate some feedback on the subject.
Thanks, Colin

Thanks Jethro.
I have already checked this out on ebay. Apparrently it is just a bonnet scoop, not a complete hood so I would need to use it to modify my stock hood. It might do the job. Suppose it depends on the quality of the product. Probably worth a try as it is reasonably priced.
thanks for your input.
Cheers, Colin
