Any recommendations for a Shaker Bubble for a restoration project? I am in the process of making significant changes to a 1973 Plymouth Barracuda that I've owned since 1975. The car now has new AMD front quarter panels with gill plates installed along with an AMD Shaker hood. Looking for recommendations on a Shaker Bubble for the car. The plan is to install a crate 392 Hemi in the car this spring (2021) and mount the bubble to the engine (not the hood). I've started to look around at options and one is Tommy the Chryo. Thoughts on this product or any suggestions/considerations/pitfalls about this modification.... much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

His is a good bubble. Much better than others I think.

I have used Tommy's shaker, excellent product. Perfect fit and finish.

Can you install an original style bubble on a modern hemi engine?

Yes. This will be an interesting challenge. I'll post updates on the progress including challenges and options.

I have put some thought into this as I am in the process of a similar build. One method that I think will work and be very clean looking is to use studs in place of the fuel rail bolts and modify a shaker adapter ring to accept the studs. This would I think give you the adjustability for the shaker to sit where you need it. Just my thoughts, good luck!

Thanks for providing your thoughts. I'd be interested in hearing/seeing the progress on your project.

XV motorsports had a version where it had legs that attached the ring to the valve cover bolts. It could be adjusted at any height and location. The ring was flat and had a large opening that the carb would fit into, but the carb didn't attach to the ring. It was a good option for a retrofit.

I just got mine from Tommy the Chryco a few weeks ago.  I was impressed with the quality of the product and the customer service.  I would recommend him whole-heartedly.

Thanks for taking the time to take and upload a photo. Yes.I'm definitely leaning towards Tommy's product.

Whatabout this one from AAR, thought I should buy one from them, https://aarqualityfiberglass.com/product/scoop-cuda-1970-1974-shaker-bubble/

I'm sure it's decent, but doesn't look nearly as finished and detail as the ones Tommy is selling. Unless it's a huge price savings, I don't see why you would ?
