IMO it would look AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAwwwwwFULLLLL. But then again I jut bought a 4" cowl hood for my charger. Mainly for clearance for the 6-pack and to get some air in. If I had a 70 'lite I'd do a air grabber. Those things are cool.

With a bit of ingenuity you can make it fit. I saw a pic of a 69 or so dart with a shaker added. However IMO an air grabber hood would look much, much better on your car than a shaker.

gotta agree with the above. e body looks good on e body. power buldge or air grabber on b body very cool. hated it when year one put a bill board on the road runner. they have no taste. might as well as called it a eb body.

I wouldn't say "B body" in general wouldn't look good, I think this looks pretty cool!

if you say so. i think it sticks out like a sore thumb. a charger has great body lines, a shaker takes that away.

It does not look bad..but IMO it would look pretty good on a '71/74 b-body..

At one time I was thinking about putting a shaker on my car. I found all the parts on ebay including a repro fiberglass shaker scoop. Ended up finding a RR hood instead.

Buying a non-air grabber RoadRunner hood is super cheap ($100.00-$200.00) & ultra easy (4-bolts) compared with buying/adding a Shakker set-up. Even if you're buying the cheapest chinese plastic & tin pieces it'll still be many time more expensive then a stock RoadRunner hood, and a lot more work. Especially on any car other then an e-body as the baseplate/shakker height & angle probably isn't correct on anything else.
Surely that influenced your decision making process.
Also the 1973-74 RoadRunner bubble hoods had nice scoops, so in my mind there is no drawbacks. On a 1970 the RoadRunner/GTX "scoop" is pretty plain/boring.
Before anyone busts my chops for saying that, yes, I do have a 1970 RoadRunner 383 4-speed. They need an Air Grabber hood at least, and the Air Grabber needs to be up 100% of the time.
That 1970 Charger looks AWESOME!
I think it fits that car perfectly.

I have a 4" cowl on mine and it looks good. Once it is in gel-coat I'll snap a picture. I always thought this looked good on a 70 Charger

?? I like the stock bludge hood better. If they weren't so expensive I would have bought one and used it for my Charger, like the yellow car.

Back in the mid 70's, I saw an article in a mag where a guy had bought a new 71-2? Satellite with a 400-4 and 4 speed. He bought everything from the dealer to put a Shaker on and it looked great!
