Whats the dimensions of an R/T hood?
« on: January 14, 2011 - 01:40:20 AM »
Hey guys, title says it all, I was going to go get an R/T hood and was planning on using my parents ford excursion for pickup, i figured since it fit my mustang hood that it would also my chally hood. but when i asked they said its in a 7X7 box. i thought maybe i could just take it out of the box at the store and put it in the excursion but incase its still to large i didnt want it sitting there out of box where it could get damaged at the store. so any ideas on how large it may be? LxW?

It has the same dimensions as the standard hood, length & width. The scoops are raised up slightly but shouldn't cause a problem. My Challenger is not around to give exact height measurements.   :bigsmile:

Great! thanks guys. if its only 52" wide there should be no problem there. il just take out the back seat and shove it in diagnally. thats how i got my mustang hood in and thats a little over 5 feet wide. I assume its in a wood crate/pallet, hope they enjoy watching me dismantel it in their parking lot. I cant wait to get the body assembled and put together, il feel a great accomplishment afterwards! Thanks again guys!

I knew that, but i was not able to find the dimensions of the standard, R/T, Shaker, or T/A hood. none of the dimensions had been posted on any website i found so naturally i came to the people who knew best!
