Interesting car, is it trade only? I didn't see an asking price.

Contact seller  so maybe cash would get it

He has it listed on Facebook too, for like 65k I think, needless to say it was met with considerable trolling at that price.
Looking for the right 70 Cuda project!

I figured mine wouldn't quite bring that, and it's far more car than that.

Anybody know how they are mounting the shaker hood on a 5.7 hemi?

If you mean the bracket to mount the shaker base air cleaner, I believe it is a custom fabrication. I remember GYC had a heck of a time measuring and making one for their '71 Cuda.

Yes that is my question.  Have had a customers just put a carb on a 5.7 to make it easy but to me thats kind of missing the point.  Why put in a 5.7 if you aren't going to make it fuel injected?  But ya, how do you mount a base plate on the fuel injected 5.7/6.1/6.4/etc?  We would like to see a base that will work but don't know how people are doing it.  Pictures would help.

I don't see port fuel injectors, it's likely a carb intake with either a carb, or tbi.

I talked to Dave from GYC and he said they started with a Mopar shaker bracket and modified it to support the shaker bubble base on the 392.  He does not have any pics of it though. Velocity is re-running the episode of when GYC is installing the bracket this Saturday and it does show them measuring and fabricating the bracket.

So is it just for show then?  Not functional?

Yes.  The air intake is on the front left for the 392, so it may be a challenge to get the shaker to be functional without a different intake manifold.
