We have a 71 Duster equipped with frame connectors and a Dana 60 rear needing an engine, and we are looking at the Hellcat crate motor as a possibility. We aren't afraid to go with an aftermarket front end either, but it has a really nice dual scoop hood all painted in the Twister style - hate to hack that up There was a hellcat superbird at sema and they had to lower the engine so it would fit under the stock hood. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UElCCobzWc

I called them to see if they are making them this way or it needs to be totally redesigned. No call back as of yet?

The HDK Suspension front end allows a Gen II Hemi under an A-body flat hood with 2x4 carbs. He has done Gen III as well, give Denny a call. I have my 605 Hemi with a big single plane intake and a 1250 Dominator under a shaker hood on my Cuda.....

In order to fit a Hellcat crate motor in a A-body - is a hood cut-out required to allow room for the blower?
That's the way it looks based on the gas monkey dart & roadkill charger I have personal experience in fitting a 68 B body. With the stock K frame, a scoop was needed for sure. I would imagine that an A body would be even worse. Expect to ship the K frame and also allow for the scoop. It is a very tall intake system.

You may be out of luck, have you considered a pro charger? I was really impressed with install they did on one of the show's on Spike TV a few weeks back with the P1SC. I already have an Alterkation front end if that makes a difference. I just don't know if that's the route I want to take.
