Hi Torque...
No...I am very sorry...but we do not have plans to make any new LT1 Firebird hoods at this time.
Alright guys...start your engines!
The GP is up and you can find it here:
https://ls1tech.com/forums/sponsor-g...l#post13180626
I'll go back and pm everyone with the questions they had for me - then I will probably have the mods close this thread....just to keep everything simple for me - ensure I don't miss any questions.
See you guys over at the new thread!
Thanks!!!
Jeanie

Just a few questions I missed
DoomSS - no...I am sorry, we wanted to build something different and went with our version of the 3" SS hood instead. We had never built a standard style SS hood.
Reamo04 & JMILL96Z - The moran hood is pretty big.
The only reason we designed this monster of a hood is to give Mike (Moran) the additional clearance he needed with everything he was running.
This hood is 5" in height, but the problem with this particular hood is that instead of "dipping back" down towards the hood at the back - like the Sunoco - it is on a continuous rise - hitting the windshield about 1/2 way up because of the slant this is on.
It is also a very wide scoop - spanning almost the full width of the hood....
Because of this, we generally recommend going with our extended Sunoco if possible - it was one of the reasons we designed the Sunoco hood....
Customers do purchase it...but it is tough to see around.
This is why we did not do another for the lt1's.
The price with the GP discount is $390.00 for the Moran hood.
It does come extended...for a stock front end, we move the foam reinforcement towards the front...but it will still require trim once you receive the hood.
I would love to give you an additional discount - but I'm not so sure my boss will go for that!
DTB_LS1 - LOL!

Might work...
The best thing to do is lay a flat board across your fenders then measure up at that point.
Once you have that height, if you can let me know what it is, I can compare to the hood and see if it will clear.
Which Sunoco are you interested in?
