I am thinking about buying a new hood for my 95 LT1.

With the high cost of fuel and the bulky size of a hood. Shipping is very expensive.

I did some measuring and a stock hood might fit in the camaro hatch with the back seat down.

The Lt1 hood is shorter from front to back than it is wide, so if you turn it 90 degrees and point the front of the hood toward the left or right fender it should fit. Due to the odd shape I don't know how it would ride or if the hatch could be closed.

Has anyone tried this with a stock or nearly stock hood?

Will it fit with the seat down and the hatch closed?

Thanks

The hood just plain don't fit, any way I tried to put it in. Of course I'm dealing with roll bars, but I think that even with a stock interior there's no way a hood would fit back there.

The hood was made by Alan Blaine who has a shop at Infineon. It weighs about 6 pounds and cost a pretty penny. He'll make you one, but shipping out there might be pricey. It is a really nice unit though. We just have to figure out air intake since we've been running an ss type hood for the last couple of years.

Figure out a way to get me some nice, cheap field side 50 yard line Rams tickets for a game next season and if you buy a hood from Alan I'll figure out a way to get it shipped to you.
