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

Sorry if my data was bunk. I put that thing in there a number of ways and it didn't seem like it would ever fit. I'm glad someone set the record straight, and I hope all goes well.

I can guarantee you that an E36 3 series hood won't fit in the trunk of an M3. But I bet it would fit in the trunk of an F body.
