Just wondering if a 73 Roadrunner hood would fit on my 72 charger. Also thanks to everyone for helping me out with my motor rebuild questions, im on the right track now!
 
No, the Roadrunner hood is much shorter then the Chargers. I don't know if the width is the same or not.
 
I agree, the road runner uses a header panel where the Charger does not. There would be a large gap between the hood and bumper.
 
Resurection time~~~~~

Since Charger bulge hoods are VERY expensive and RR hoods are relatively cheap (and meaner looking), I;ve given lots of thought to this. There is a pic on this forum of a 71-72 flat satellite hod (and filler AND bumper) on a gen 3 Charger. Apparently it will bolt on, line up and latch.

Seems like the 73/74 header could be modified to work with the charger bumper (71/72 is flat).

Next one I see for $250 or less is coming home with me. Enter the "FrankenCharger".
