I'm starting to see more bb hoods show up. So if you have one, post a pic.

 

What's a big block hood?

 

 

oh stinger hood...okay

 

I see your car is a t top how did you paint them i was thinking of painting mine too

 

exact same as the rest of the car, sand-degrease-epoxy primer-primer sealer-base-clear

 

Painted t-bar black and the outside rails of the t tops black. Sail when are you painting the stripe on?

 

bigdave--when I saw your hood awhile back I got bit!I plan on 1 next fall!
Great threads to -ooops I drooled again--
The BB hoods are cool!!

 

I like it, but i went with the SS instead on my T top car.

 

I thought L-88 style hood where bigblock hoods becuase the old corvettes that had bigblocks had this stlye hoods. Am i wrong or is their more than one BigBlock style hood.

 

Thanks since i am gonna be painting my car soon i might as well paint the lexon t tops too they are so faded

 

Yes, the hood is the 64-67 corvette style hood. Ascd which sells the hood calls it the big block hood. I don't know if all corvettes with BBC came with this hood but I would guess so.

 

This is ONEBAD91CamaroRS's camaro, this is the hood that i thought was the bigblock hood.

I mean't this hood is the L-88 Hood

 

heres mine i changed it a little bit

 

Changes in progress

 

lookin real good

 

It works too.

 

Does it draw air in from the back? Did it come with the air box or did you get that separately?

 

That L88 one is typically the "big block hood", the other one was only on the 427 Vettes, hence the name "427 hood" or "427 big block hood". Never heard it called a "stinger hood until this thread.

Too bad neither are made for the 'birds. Firebirds have SO FEW choices! But I guess that is because they are sexy already & don't need the "make-up" that the Camaros do!

 

L-88 has always been just that L-88 not big block. The hood with the corvette stinger type scoop is listed at hawks thirdgen as BIG BLOCK style and I have heard it called a stinger hood in magazines describing early yenko and baldwin motion cars since i can remember.

 

want to see this hood with the heritage stripes. anyone done it. dont think it will look great but i want to keep it original. kinda.

 

I've had one on my car since 2001 and as you can see in the picture it is currently in the paint shop. I had to have the hood from the first time I saw it. Funny how ASCD is still using the exact same picture to advertise it, as a matter of fact sail, isn't it the same color as yours?

 

Sorry for the year long delayed response. Yes it draws air from the rear of the hood or base of the windsheild it is working cowl induction. The air box is a SLP lid for a 4th gen turned upside down.
