L88 Hood question
I need to change hood for more clearance, I see that the L88 hoods are offered with air box and without. Is the air box made to use the small air cleaner that was used from the factory on the 427. What are the pros and cons of ordering with or without an airbox?
And there are some manufactures in which the airbox is removable.

If you decide on the L-88 hood without the air box, you are simply gaining more hood clearance. There will be no advantage of the cooler air being drawn in from the windshield.
Here's a pic of the air cleaner assembly. I think they're still available at Paragon, Zips etc. There are more pics at my site below at the L-88 hood page.
Here's another pic:
