Hood clearance
Curious how much hood clearence I would gain with a stock 73-74 style "cowl induction" hood over a stock 69 hood. I had a 73 before and seem to recall it was about 2" inside
I know I would need to remove the wiper door and panel
The nexr step would be an L88 style hood.
Would apreciate any actual inside mesurements on the cowl and L88 hoods

Ive seen it done. Was told 73-4 will match up to the fenders, while 75 up will not.
Obviously they are longer and will nessesitate removing the wiper door and grill.
Purists migh tiring, but I think it looks much cleaner

There are some measurements for the L88 hood (short style with wiper door) in the linked thread. My measurements shown on post #40 for my '69. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...-l88-hood.html
