I am trying to make a choice between a L88 and a LT1 Hood. There are plenty of pictures of the L88 on the Forum, but not the LT1. Please post pictures of yours and help me make my choice.

THANKS!!

The LT1 hood is the same as the Big Block hood from 68-72 It just doesn't have the emblem holes.

Not a very good one but its a start. I just checked and I have some excellent close up shots. If you PM me your email I can send them. There is about 6 shots of my hood if you want them.

The choice usually boils down to needed hood clearance.
