I need to do something like that for my Hemi, I was going to use the metal aircleaner base to make a fiberglass one then use it to modify for my Holley carbs. Another project on the list of TODO's

Please explain - "the only factory system with a seal to the air cleaner".
Not getting it either . Didnt the race/scoop setups use a cross ram with velocity stacks sealed to underside of bonnet cut oyt holes ? Tex

Tex The factory WO/RO 23 system used an aluminum plate the required cutting essentially all of the hood bracing out, indeed, it didn't have any provision for an air cleaner, race only, no good for a street car.

I would like to see the modifications to fit the carbs with the base. I have to do something similar with my Hemi with the stageV intake and Holleys. Tim

I have one more day off and am spending it wisely. Here I am building a mock up of the "A12 wall". This will be recreated in 18 gauge steel and welded in place. The rubber seal goes on the top lip. I need to give credit to Tommy theChryco. He had the best deal on the parts and made sure I had them before my Christmas break. I assume you are making the "wall" out of some sort of high density foam to seal to the hood and allow some flex for engine movement and still stay sealed up.

Ok, why did you trim the lip by where it meets the carb flange? I need to do this mod on mine but I have been hesitant to just cut on a $600 air cleaner base..

Well I have shrinkers/stretchers for 2 different models, that hand one is a lot harder to use than one with a foot pedal. The foot pedal one allows for 2 hands, and if you are on a stool, you don't loose too much balance.
It looks like you are really getting a handle on it.
Do your carbs have vacuum secondaries or are they double pumpers? Keep up the good work. Tim

I also need to always have a project to work on, especially during this time of year. So, just thought you guys might be interested. I hear you on that...plus no excuse to rush making things during the winter and you can take your time to make it right. Looking forward to the finished product.

Leave an edge on the base that is 1/4-3/8, then roll it up, you will get a good lap weld. Even if you only leave the straight sides, it gives you some sort of edge to weld to. Tim

Well, with the front done, all that remains is to match the radius's in the rear, and hit the overall length. A cardboard template does the trick!

It looks awesome, if you are good with a torch, you may want to try silver brazing. Its low heat and is 60k psi tensile strength. I am not a fan of mig for real precise work. What are you going to use for a seal to the hood? I have some rubber product that is 3" wide and come is a roll that you could fasten...or look for a P seal http://www.brownaircraft.com/product-p/t-6400.htmTim

Very cool project & nicely done. I am getting ready to start on a similar project but adapting my Shaker hood on my 70' Challenger. I am going to be making a custom drop base to fit to my Indy tunnel ram with dual Dominator carbs & a custom larger/taller Shaker Scoop.
