Default Hood Question.

I am interetsed in gaining a little hood clearance on my '72. I want to be able to fit an Edelbrock RPM manifold and Holley carb under the hood. I have heard people mention the L-88 hoods, LT-1, and big block hoods. I am familiar with the L-88 but, not the other two. Could someone post a few pics of either of the other two hoods? Also, Will all of the above mentioned hoods give me additional clearance over the stock hood?

Thanks,

Mike
