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

A friend of mine, who post on here under the name Return Road Apex, was able to transport a LT1 ram air hood in the back of his '94 Firebird. I will point him to this post but you may want to PM him to see how he did it. There may be differences in fitting a firebird or camaro hood in the back.

Just saw this and replied to the PM. I'm suprised you remebered that Neil, that was a while ago. FWIW a stock or ram air firebird hood will fit in the back of a bird with the seat down and the hatch closed. It is necessary for it to be turned sideways. I would think a Z28 would fit too, simplly because it wasnt that tight of a fit on my car and the only area in which the Z28 would be bigger is the headlight cutouts, not a max width or depth.
