Default L88 long hood, do they make?

Does anyone know if anyone makes an L-88 hood that would fit a 1978?

Yes, most of the majors carry them. I bought mine (although it was for a short hood application) from Eckler's a few years back.

Yes, ACI makes a nice quality piece. Vanacors generally makes a cheaper product as well.

Lots of options for the long style L88 hoods. I've heard lots of good things about Vanacor. Corvette Image is another excellent quality fiberglass manufacturer, particularly if you want a stock replacement part that is built like GM did it, although the L88 hood wasn't built by GM in the long style.
