426 Hemi Air Cleaner

[stan kirkman]

Hi everybody getting ready to install a 426 Hemi in a 1973 Cuda was wondering if the stock 2x4 air cleaner (oval) would fit under the stock hood the engine will have the factory style intake manifold with Edelbrock carbs , any info would be appreciated!

Yeah, NO. With a flat. The budge hood more likely it would.

Agree with above. No, with a flat hood. Yes, it will clear with a dual scoop Cuda hood if all stock parts otherwise. However, you will have to modify the base for the larger Edelbrocks 5-1/8" diameter carbs.
Mine as pictured above from Challenger RTA is obviously nothing as stock. So, nothing cleared the hood.

Thanks great info , I see theres a guy on the west coast that makes air cleaner bases to fit the Edelbrocks , and I did forget to mention it does have the bulge hood .
