My First EBody ever...

[Skdmark]

Nice Challenger. I have not come across too many GA4 R/T's.
I have seen only one or two each in the available engines (340, 383, 440-6, 426) over the last 30 years.
GA4 is one of those love it or hate it colors. It stands out in a sea of high-impact cars nicely.

Here's mine. I bought it in 1990 when I was 16.
383 A/T very low optioned car (A01 light group is about it). I added the shaker back in '96.
Within the next year or two, I plan on re-restoring it.

Since 1990! Wow! 383 car? Early or late car? If 383 I'd like to see detailed pics of Air Cleaner, vacuum and PCV line routing.

[anlauto]

Well his air cleaner would be different because of the shaker hood, but the PCV hose routing should be the same

[Skdmark]

Easier to show the PCV routing per 71 Dodge service manual. The PCV valve is on the driver's side valve cover.
The hose run towards the front and through a hole in the throttle spring bracket and into the base of the Holley.
Your car should also have the 3-nipple breather on the passenger side.

Here's some pics of my air cleaner. It's been hanging on a wall for 26 years.
Just has a semi gloss rattle can paint on it. Other than being the correct unit for a '71 383-4 it's not "OEM" restored.

If you want to see OEM restored \ over restored:

Very nice ebody

I forgot about the shaker; I need a 71 air cleaner assembly.

[gpm6367]

I love the fact that you kept the original air cleaner! Never got tempted to sell t?

[Skdmark]

Never tempted to sell it.

Always planned on putting a 2 scoop hood back on someday. Shakers look great, but are a PITA sometimes.
A previous owner drilled hood pins on the wrong spot on the original hood. I sold the hood and have been on the hunt on and off for an original '71 replacement. It's harder than you think, '71 hoods do not have the holes drilled for the individual D O D G E letters across the front.

Nice AC.  Just like the one that came on my original 383 '70 'Cuda.    Any you're right the Shaker hood is a PIA when you want to work on the engine.  Looks great, but a pain to work around or have to remove every time you need to get to the  top of the engine.

the above pictured air cleaner is 1971 ONLY & would not be correct on a '70 'cuda (notice the breather tube on the driver's side snorkel)  @usraptor

there was a "early '71 model year" version that did not have the "HUMP" on the passenger side snorkel 

[usraptor]

Thanks 6bblgt.  I guess I thought they were the same as I was only paying attention to the double snorkel, black wrinkle finish and 383 Magnum plate, additionally it's been a while since I looked at pics of my original 'Cuda.   That's what's great about this site and it's members, you learn something new every day.

I'm going to look for a 71 unit and then will have my 70 for sale.

I'll need a heat riser for exhaust manifold as well. Is that piece reproduced?

The heat riser, heat stove, and tube are reproduced.
