Need Shaker Hood Baseplate advice Please....
« on: December 29, 2009 - 09:39:01 PM »
Hey guys!
Back home from Iraq (finally),  :villagers:  and looking at finishing my Challenger for the Spring!  :jumping:

I have a four barrel underneath my shaker hood on a 1970 Challenger...

Question I got:  when I place the shaker baseplate on top of the engine, it rocks left to right...i thought there should be some legs or braces to go between the baseplate and the engine...can anyone validate this and does anyone know if there is a template where they go?? :dunno:

Appreciate any and all help in advance.

much thanks,

purple heart challenger

Welcome home!

Maybe look here, I see support feet listed.

I don't think the support feet are for 383/440 engines.

Maybe you don't have things tightened up enough?
