    Hood for Hemi...
    « on: March 13, 2012 - 03:37:18 PM »
    70 Barracuda with plain hood and 426 Hemi. Not a good fit with my air cleaner setup... Will AAR hood fit? Scoop? What are your suggestions?
    I am not planning to invest in shaker setup just now...

    Not really sure if it will work, but AAR hoods do provide a lot of clearance.

    If you're going to stick w/that hood, then I'd just make yourself an AAR clone.  I.e. ditch that awful rear spoiler for an AAR one.

    Black w/black AAR strobe stripes would be...PERFECT!
