Challenger Ralley Hood underside pad???

[jt4406]

Anyone know if the commercially available molded hood pads will fit over a 440 six pack with stock oval air cleaner in a 70 challenger with the ralley hood?

The pads I have seen do. I would ask the vendor that you are getting it from. Find out if they guarentee the fit. That way you can send it back it if does not fit.

They do tend to wear paint off the air cleaner lid due to engine vibration against the insulation.

I am curious,,,, 70 Challenger R/T with 440 4BBL, would it or could it have had a under hood pad factory installed? Not sure if I have ever seen one with the pad.

Nice! I dont see many R/T's with the hood pad and was curious if the R/T had these installed from the factory?

the hood pad was part of the sound deadening package so if it had factory undercoating it would get a hood pad, at lest that's the info I have found

That’s correct about the sound deadening package mine had the factory undercoating and hood pad. Of course I swapped out my 318 for a 440 six pack but kept the pad.

Cool, exactly what I hoped to see. Does the pad rub the air cleaner? If so is it enough to cause damage to either? I really want one like this on my car. What brand/supplier has it available? thanks, jess

It barely touches but I haven’t noticed anything bad happening on my air cleaner lid. Don’t know the brand I bought it off eBay. But it was the more expensive preformed insulation cost about 100 bucks

The most correct molded pads are of the REM brand. A variety of vendors sell the REM product line, so you will have to find the best bargain as shipping really is a major cost with these units. Secondly, all of the reproduction metal clips do not fit as well as the originals, so if possible try to locate good used clips.
