    Hood Clearance Issues
    « on: August 06, 2006 - 09:13:43 PM »
    I would like to see if anyone has any intake setups that worked on a Charger. I am running a 500 CI Wedge Crate motor in a 68 Charger.  I have stage VI heads and was running a adapter plates with a dual plane intake, 870 street avenger and a 3" K&N Filter with a drop base (2.5 inches carb flange to top). This fits but I want to go with the M1 intake I have.  I have the M1 milled a bit off the top and it's exactly 1" taller than the previous setup.  To be safe I wanted to keep the same height. Since the motor is out of the car now I can't do any measurements but I thought I would see if I someone has any recommendations so i can slam it in and go!  :ylsuper:

    with only 1.5" to the hood you may restrict air flow into the carb & negate any gains  , you will need a drop base filter & probably a 3 " element , Chargers are tough with no factory raised hoods available
