Nothing stock LT-1 or L-88 will bolt up to a 73 or later car. If you want LT-1/BB for your 73, you will have to purchase an aftermarket hood.

Hood latch hardware is different. You want an aftermarket 73 and later hood using 73 latch hardware.

Size wise, yes, but you would not want an 82 crossfire hood on your 73.
