In 1970 did shaker hoods come on six packs or just 4 barrels? Did Dodge offer a shaker hood in 1970?
In 1970, as already mentioned, the Hemicudas got shakers STANDARD equipment. The shaker was OPTIONAL on 440-6 Cudas though at extra cost. SOME 340 & 383 Cudas in 1970 did get the shaker hoods, but they were probably flukes that happened by someone on the inside pulling some strings. THEY WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE AVAILABLE ON ANYTHING OTHER THAN A HEMI OR A 440-6.
On the '70 Challengers (as already mentioned), the shaker hood was OPTIONAL on Hemis & 440-6's. HOWEVER, I remember talking with people over the years that claimed they ordered a shaker setup on 440-6 Challengers, & the cars came in with the std. dual scoop hood & a letter from the factory stating that "Due to production problems, the shaker hood is not available at this time."
In 1971, the shaker setup became a regular option on all Cudas & Challenger R/T's. However, it was standard/mandatory on the Hemicudas. **Could a shaker be ordered on a 1971 non-R/T Challenger or a Barracuda - with say a 340 or 383? That would be interesting to know. I've never seen or heard of one!

I have the bulletin from Chry that said Shaker is now an option on 340,383and 440 4bbl cars from March 1970 and I have 2 1970 340 Shaker cudas.
I did order a 70 Challenger R/T 440-6 super trac pkg with the shaker,but it did not come on it and no letter.

Dan those figures for 1970 R/Ts Challengers "164" shaker hoods, are those figures from the USA sales figures. I ask this because I am trying to get a friend to pull the trigger on a 1970 Challenger 440-6 auto Dana that came with a shaker hood. May 1970 built car. This just might make him dig into his pockets.
