Hi guys,
I'm on a fact finding mission. I have converted my 71 Challenger to a Shaker car and in doing the research a while ago regarding what intake would fit under the shaker a lot of people said that the LD340 would work and that I would have the proper hood clearance. So I found a great one had it power coated and I thought I was good. I thought it made sense since it was a stock manifold. Now I'm hearing mixed reactions.
Can anyone tell me if I will have clearance issues with the shaker hood closing if I use the LD340. If I will what aftermarket intake will work? I'm getting ready to assemble the engine and it's out of the car so I would rather know sooner than later. Thanks for your help.
I just measures with a straight edge across the top of the intake and it measures 5-1/8" at it highest point.
BTW - I'm using an Edelbrock Thunder series carb.
