    Curious

    I'm not asking what you paid for the hood as that's personal but I am curious what they are worth, my son's car has the grabber hood off a 71 or 72 and I'm told they bring $$$$?

    The motor specs. Bored 30 over , balanced, SRP flat top forged pistons,Patriot aluminum heads ,canton oil pan ,comp retrofit roller cam "big mutha thumper" , Harlan sharpe roller rocker, Edelbrock aluminum intake, Hi Torque Gear reduction starter, and more. Recently built and guy needed money so his friend bought the truck and put his own 302 in as this one was alot more motor than he wanted. Bought the motor for $700. The hood was fair for a rust and dent free hood but wasn't a steal at $400.

    400, Is a decent price on the hood, I've seen them go for higher.
