Hood dimension differences

Can someone tell me how I can figure out whether I have a stock BB hood, or and L-88 hood? I imagine measuring the rise would be the easiest way.

I always thought I had the stock BB hood (and still do), but someone recently suggested I may have the L-88 hood. I'd like to find out for sure since I'm about to buy an intake...

Thanks, my tape measure is ready and waiting!

They look completely different. Post a pic and we will tell you.

With an L88 hood you can pour some beer onto the hood and sip it up with a straw.

With a stock BB hood you will have to sip the beer off of the ground.

Thanks, I searched but didn't come up with that one. Looks like an L-88hood.

Well, I feel like a d*mn fool now, I wish I had know this two months ago. I would have went with a different cam grind to work with the Performer RPM intake I'll now be using (instead of the torker II).
