where can I get a taller cowl LT1 SS hood?
I've seen one somewhere before. In a magazine I think. I think the stocker is like 1 3/4" or something? Just trying to give myself a little more room to work with in the future when I go 18* on my LT1. Nothing really radical, maybe 2 1/2". Anybody know?

Theres a VFN 4" in the midwest section for sale. Or http://www.vfnfiberglass.com/site.htm sells SS Style hoods with a 3" cowl.

Oh, that doesnt look too good with a cowl. I did find a 93-97 SS hood on ebay with the '98+ SS cowl on it. Dont have anything but a frontal pic, but Im curious to know what that would look like.

I like the LT1 style scoop alot better than the LS1 style scoop, it looks a lot meaner. But its up to you.

Well I dont know. Because I didnt know this option existed. I'd really like to see the two side by side, it's really hard to visuallize; hard to tell if the LS1 style would blend in to the LT1 body style.
Really what I would like is just a plain jane bolton LT1 glass SS hood without paying a fortune.

Yeah, I like the LT1 SS style better. If they had a slight increase in the LT1 SS cowl I'd get one, but that of hood looks like a HUGE cowl and looks like a steak someone cooked way too long... or something 
I'll just stick with the LT1 SS hood. Hopefully when I get my 18* top end together, it wont interfere with the hood, or I might be selling it to get a cowl.

If the regular LT1 SS hood doesnt have enough clearance, you can try one of the bigger LT1 SS hoods from these guys.
http://www.vfnfiberglass.com/site.htm
They also have some cowl hoods.
Here are some pictures of one installed.
