2nd Gen Camaros and L-88 Hoods are perfect together.

Yeah Steve. I bought the car back in 1994 because I needed a shell to stick all the race parts from my 73 Camaro into. The car has been a Chevy powered race car almost all it's life. When I got it,it was a roller,but had already been made a street racing legend by that time. It had everything from a nitrous injected 454 under the hood,to a 10,000 rpm ex-pro stock 331 of reputed Jenkins fame under the hood in the decade or more before I bought it. I bracket race,and need to get 500+ maintence free runs out of a 600+ HP engine. I got over 700 runs out of my last 427 with nothing more than twice a year oil changes,and on timing chain,and the entire engine intake to pan cost about $6500. I couldn't never expect that out of a Pontiac engine,and certainly not for that kind of money. Once the 427 goes in the expro stock 70 Camaro that I am restoring,I may build the Firebird as a 1970 era Pontiac powered Nostalgia pro stocker. That would probably be more than a decade from now though.
