Hemi Cuda/Challenger W/O a shaker, air intake set up?
« on: July 24, 2012 - 08:17:39 AM »
So if a Hemi Cuda or Challenger did not come with a shaker hood, what air cleaner did it have?  Was it the orange oval with dual quads? If so what decal was on the air cleaner top?  or the large round chrome air cleaner?

That was in 1970 though.  I know I've seen a 71 Hemi Cuda with the scooped hood.

All 1970 Hemi Cudas had the shaker hood.  What I'm not sure of is the 71's.

All Hemi Cudas in 70 and 71 came standard with the Shaker hood.  You could not get any other hood.  If there was one on a car now, it either was swapped or the car isn't a real Hemi Cuda.

Only Challenger came optional with the shaker hood or dual scoop hood.  And extremely rare T/A Hood.

You couldnt even special order a different hood?

Well if there is . . It is rare!   I don't think you could get air conditioning in a hemi cuda either because of the shaker setup.

I've asked a few experts and all said there were no "dual scoop" hood 70 or 71 Hemi Cudas.  They all came with Shakers. 

Untill you come up with some documentation proving otherwise.
