I believe it is slightly longer in the nose.
I have a 76 rear clip and hood,and i ck'd it against my 81 and it's 1" longer than the 81 hood.I'm not sure if thats a fluke or if it's across the board.Steve

Both engines(L-48 & L-82) breathed through an intake that was now in front of and above the radiator instead of at the cowl near the windshield. The change was made to remedy the noise of air being gulped in so close to the passenger compartment

The things that makes the '76 hood unique is that it still has the rear hood grill that was dropped in '77, and it doesn't have the underhood hardware that was needed for the cowl induction used from '73-'75.....
