Gotcha...for some reason I thought you were going to run breathers on the covers. A better option than the grommets is to weld some -10 male fittings onto the covers.

What hood are you planning on using? And who makes that air cleaner? Thanks I don't know on the hood. Air Cleaner is from PG Classics. I modified a stock one for the 4500. It's a metal base, not fiberglass like others I've seen. https://pgclassic.com/air-cleaners-air-grabber/

I'd get a Glasstek hood, with a Sunoco style "scoop/cowl" on it. Here is Larry Boyd's GTX with a Glasstek front and Sunoco hood.

That GTX is off the hook.
That K&N E-3840 element is on national backorder right now. I tried 4 times to buy one, not happening lol. Summit had it to my door in a couple days??? **edit** I just checked and they still show it available to ship today.

I managed to get one side of the exhaust buzzed up. Waiting on a couple bends for the other side. I went under the axle as I mentioned in a separate thread. This is the first time the car has had exhaust past the rear axle in ~20 years... May have to install a stereo if it works out! Tacked together: Untitled by Greg Ault, on Flickr All buzzed up!

What are you doing to allow the motor to breathe? I see one outlet with no inlet for breathing I would and do use a PCV on all my non vacuum pump motors to help suck moisture out of them as well as allow the motor to breath when revved up above 3000 RPM

I remember seeing a Charger a while back with a Sunoco style hood. Well I just came across it on Facebook, and here it is.
