Adding air grabber to power bulge hood

[fanucme]

I am trying to plan replacement of the flat hood on my 73 se Charger , I am cloning it to look similar to a 71 RT , either I am going to buy a glass power bulge hood , or buy a steel hood and add the air grabber parts to it. Anyone here swap the air grabber parts over onto a plain steel power bulge hood ?

One of the main problems you will have with a steel hood, is the stamped depression to receive the A/G door and other parts.
This will be difficult to reproduce, and will intorduce lots of flex and rust prone bodywork.

You can buy a fiberglass hood that is already set up for an A/G, but I don't know anyone that has used one.

Also you might want to look through the classifieds here to see if there is one available. There is one for sale on CL in OKC OK under parts the guy wants 1200 for it.

First off, you cannot add an Air Grabber to a Dodge. Dodges came with the RamCharger hood option. Air Grabber was Plymouth.

Yes , you are right , I stand corrected , although you fellas know what I mean. I have been looking around and found VFN has a glass hood and am going to call around on a few others ,

I did find a rust free bulge version for 800$ and the bolt on glass is much less. I did not see one yet with the ram charger setup though ! Who makes that version ?

Fiberglass is the only way to go unless you want to spend $3000 for a N96 hood. There was one on eBay. You’re going to need more then just the hood. You need actuators, canister all vacuum lines,and switch. Do a deep research on it to make sure that’s what you want. I was going to go for the N96 hood and then found a mint R/T louvered hood that I could not pass up. I’m glad I got it. Hopefully AMD might come out with something. If you do go for the fiberglass N96 hood, please write up on it. I was always curios on how good these hoods are. Good luck
BTW in case you did not know: N96 was the ramcharger hood code.

I don't think that the R/T- S/Bee hood is the same as the N96 hood. Think the opening is way different.
