Should I change my hood?

Very nice, biltogo.

Are you planning on opening up the vent? At least, I think that's the idea of the groove at the front of the high-rise area (to vent air from the radiator).

If not, are you at least drilling a couple drain holes, to remove rainwater if the car ever has to sit in the rain?

I have a big block hood I will sell you. I pulled it off of my '73 and put the original small block hood back on. I loved the look of the other hood, but may be selling my Vette soon to focus on a '57 Chevy I just bought. I would let it go for $200 plus shipping. Its a Vancour hood.

You couldn't have decided to sell the 'Vette back in October when I was looking, huh?

I'll have to think about the hood. I was getting used to the idea of the stinger but, on the other hand, it's $225 difference...

Quick question: what hood is it? I can't find a "big block hood" in Vanacor's online catalog.

Its the L88 hood.

Thanks... I'll have to think this one over...

Well, I ended up going with the stinger hood. (shipped today - woohoo! )

Thanks for the offer, though.

Keep us posted Joe. That is my favorite hood and only rarely see it on a C3.
