Will My Shaker Fit With A/C In My Challenger?
« on: January 01, 2009 - 11:34:55 AM »
Hey guys I just got a new shaker hood with the entire bubble set up.  I have a 71 Challenger with a 340, 4 barrel.  Will the bubble fit with the A/C or do I need to remove the A/C entirely?  Thanks for your help.

Dave

well if you test fit it you will quicly see there is no way to keep the A/C , at least using the stock pump , the Sanden could possibly be made to fit , my friend has a 440 + 6 with the Sanden & it just needed some minor clearnacing to fit the the six pack base

For stock-looking setups, Bouchillon Performance makes brackets to fit I believe.

i have done a few like this .the  shaker base is farther out than the standard 6 bbl base plates. vintage air kits work well  .the thing is that a pair of tight 90 degree fittings coming out from your compressor  is utmost important .c
