Unk,

If you put the Quadrajet/4.3L combo in you have to paint the engine green for it to run properly...or so I've been told....

and to answer your other questions...
Cool - me too!, gosh I hope so, no - not yet, and 800.788.WELD...lol

OK, got 'nother question, WHICH hood would be correct? ANY 1968 Camaro hood? it would be a "Full stock hood including latches, hinges, springs, brackets, and
braces as originally produced"
Flat hood, z28 hoodss hood, does any in particular have to be run or just a 68 Camaro hood,,,,,, and why????

per nhra rulebook,
HOOD
Full stock hood including latches, hinges, springs, brackets, and
braces as originally produced must be retained. Hood openings
and/or hood scoops other than original equipment prohibited. OEM
hood openings must retain all flappers, grilles, hardware, etc. as
originally produced. In front-wheel-drive vehicles, nonfunctional
hood scoops that were available through the manufacturer are
permitted.
