I need Help Choosing a hood
I am buying this car Sunday morning and it needs a hood. here are my questions:
Will a scoop hood fit this car? maybe the stinger old corvette style?
If not, what size cowl will I need? I'm not a fan of huge cowls.
If I get the stinger hood, how hard is it to make it functional?

A harwood bolt on 4" cowl should solve any clearance problems.

Re: I need Help Choosing a hood
i got a big block stinger hood and i modified it to look like a corvette stinger hood. i've got pics in the fabrication section (custom things i've done to a 91 Z) as for making it functional dont cut out the front,make it work like cowl induction thats my plan.

I don't know why, but I love the way daytona hoods look, especially on Camaros:

How hard would it be to make a shaker/cut a hole in the hood and put on a scoop...I'm looking for something on the cheap.

I like my hood (Daytona hood) see sig for it aka the pic below or VGarage. Also best place to get a cheap hood is craigslist.
