Nova L88 hood help
 
Looking for thoughts on who makes the best L88 hoods for 69 70 Novas. Need one to clear a pair of dual quads. Thanks

Depending on the intake, an L-88 hood may not provide the needed clearance. I was running a tunnel ram and dual quads on my Camaro and had to use a big snorkle to clear.

A stinger hood might look good with a hole cut and velocity stacks poking through.

I put a fiberglass L88 hood on my Nova about 20 years ago and I believe it came from US Body. I was white or light gray and had quite a bit of reinforcement inside and was very sturdy.

Here is a Nova with L-88 hood and Tunnel Ram.

Another idea.

This doesn't have the tunnel ram. Just an Offy dual quad setup. But I like that Nova.

I was at VFN just last month picking up something before all this happened. :(

Agreed, I do not think the L88 has the room under it for a tunnelram and carbs? Guess it depends on the tunnelram. I know my '69 BB with strip dom intake, the carb is higher than the fenders. So I think you'll be cutting the hood.

Also I'm not a fan of that "Mopar" hood posted above? Like the member have stated, snorkel style or maybe a "Grump Lump" to clear the tunnelram.

I think Schony is looking for a hood to clear this type of duel quad intake manifold https://www.jegs.com/images/photos/300/350/350-7525.jpg
