Ive been noticing in my hunt for a big block vette that there are what appears to be 2 types of hoods for the big blocks (1968-1972). I still consider myself a newbie in this regard so I finally dug up 2 pictures of what Im confused on. I added the year just for reference, it does seem that most of my searches come up with the hood type shown on this 1968 vette.
Are these both factory hoods?
Does one type denote a tri-power engine?
thanks for the help.
