Yes, I just prepped them, then black self-etching primer and gloss black paint. Wurth products. I have no clue how it will hold up...but it looks nice, did all the hard lines too

Do you have the shaker bubble yet? I am curious how much space is between the intake manifold and the adapter ring.... if any.

YES...I set just the bubble directly on top of the motor and it has to come up almost a good two inches....

I've ordered the OEM "new" shaker mounting bracket for the engine, that gives me a "flat" surface to work with, then I figure I can weld on some arms to reach out and mount the 70-71 Shaker adaptor ring...I can adjust the height buy stepping the arms up or down or even just using spacers were the adaptor ring will mount....

Sounds good in theory at least

Thanks for the info.   

So... with the new-style shaker parts are you hoping to make the old style shaker functional?  I was hoping to add a shaker to mine, but might not bother putting the effort in if it isn't functional.

It will allow air into the engine compartment, but I wouldn't say it was directly functional, purely for external appearance in this case

Gave up waiting for front tires from Summit and bought them locally and got them the next day

All mounted and balanced and look great in my opinion, I love those YearOne rims

Not exactly the exact ride height, but my cardboard selection was a little light today...

Also fabricated the cold air intake today turned out great...

Next is the shaker, and then everything can come apart...

How close is a modern OEM shaker to lining up with the old shaker hood? Any idea? It would be sweet to make that into a cold air intake!

On Saturday, my Neighbour had a friend over with a Shaker hood new Challenger....I asked the guy to pop the hood, it looked like a open tube coming from one side of the shaker feed into the air box where the filter was, that's it ???....The owner told me only one side of the scoop was functional...

Where did you buy the crate engine from somewhere in Canada?

I priced it at my local dealer, but the owner got it for a better deal at an Alberta dealership, and had enough connections in the trucking business that he got it sent here pretty cheap....I went back to my local dealer, and told them what happened...they said they would match the price for me on the "next" 392 I want to buy....LoL

The estimate I got for just the engine, no accessories was $11Kish CDN, with all the stuff and 13% tax it was just over $16K CDN all in.

Thanks, I'm itching to build and I'm thinking the next one will be a something like your doing.

I would love to build one for myself as well. We just need all the stars to align    IF I did I would use the exact same recipe as this car..I really like the way this is turning out...
If I  can be of any help getting a motor, just let me know..

[anlauto]

Okay...I bought the "new" shaker mounting bracket and welded six new arms on it, trimmed up my new shaker adaptor ring, made my own diamond washers, and budda bing budda boom...the shaker is mounted...
