If you are refering to the Vette Bigblock style hood, I don't think they make that s tyle for birds anymore. Don't know who made it. Motion glass probably has something like that, just too bad they don't have an online catalog.

Sounds like an L88 hood... I don't think anyone makes a complete L88 hood for a Firebird, but you could get a base-model flat steel hood, and add a separate L88 scoop to it.

I think that he is talking about this hood. This one is for a camaro at JC Whitney. They did not have it for the bird.

man ive got a l88 hood on my 1970 vette and ever since ive had that car ive always wanted an l88 looking hood for my z. the ss hood is too played out, the big block hood is nice but i think the l88 hood blows them all away. does anyone have any pics of an l88 hood on one of our cars???

There is a guy running aroung Longmont Colorado with that hod on his 91 GTA. It really looks like ****. The scoop is WAY too tall for the car and it just looks too blocky. I think that Motion still has it for the Birds if you really want one.
