1972 Challanger 440, Performer RPM too Tall?
« on: October 30, 2009 - 04:53:25 PM »
Guys,

Will a Performer RPM Intake on my 440 clear the stock Challanger Ralley Hood?

Or will it be too tall and require a cowl hood?

Thanks... John

If the ralley hood is the same as the "bulge" hood, then I would say YES!! I have the bulge hood with the Performer RPM intake and a Pro Systems (Holley 4150 base) 4 BBL carb and a K & N air filter and the hood closes just fine!! You should be OK. :2thumbs:

You might consider the answers to your post asking the same thing a couple of days ago :)

Yes it will fit with a drop base.  I think my base is a 1 5/8" drop.  Used a K&N Flow top? to make sure air flow was not impeaded.
