L-88, LT1 Long Hood
I may have stated this incorrectly. What I was looking for may best be described as a 1974 big block LS4 hood.
If anyone has parted out a 74 with a big block power plant then I believe the hood would have been the style I am seeking. Sorry for any confusion. I am not looking for one that needs a bunch of repair. I am looking for one that can be or is stripped of paint and can be restored. I am able to drive within about 150 miles of my home at 18045 to pick a good candidate up. Please supply pictures and prices for me to review. Thank you for your assistance. David Howard |
I have some long hoods. I think I have L88 long and another one. I’ll check, they’re in the back of the garage. Pat |

What does a 1974 big block hood look like ? I looked at pictures on google and the pictures that came up look like the hood looks the same as a small block except for having 454 on the side. So is there a size difference from a small block hood ?
Thank you. David |
73 and later Vettes all had the same hoods regardless of engines. |

Some have said that the corners are different and won’t match up because the 68-72 used the SS trim on the fenders to level out with doors and hood. Is there anyway to tell by looking at the hood corners? I never put this hood on my 69 and it’s in for paint this winter. I would like to help David out but want to make sure it fits his 74. Thanks! |

Sorry for taking so long to post pictures. It’s been biter cold here the last couple of weeks and finally its like spring time today so I dug the hood out. Here are some picture of it. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...f36ad43a4.jpeg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...f06717014.jpeg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...826388293.jpeg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...cb1486e36.jpeg |

David; I know the factory 73-75 hoods are somewhat taller than 70-72 and have a vacuum operated functional hood scoop.

Thanks to all for helping. I am going to stick with the stock 74 hood that I have as it will clear what I want to do.
Thank you for looking. David |
Hi - has this hood been sold? Have you determined if it is a long style - looks it to me.

No problem Pat, all good.

Didn't mean to step on anyone's toes, if I did. :cheers:
