I know certain cars with 440 and certain hoods didnt have A/C. Like a 69 Coronet R/T with an air grabber didn't have A/C. But my question , did they ever put A/C on a 426 Hemi ?? Don't know enough about hemi's and the brackets and accessories if they could or never did in cars. Thoughts?

So my next question, not knowing bracketing . Could you put an A/C unit on 426 and look somewhat stock ?

This Hemi Dart has A/C, on the left of the picture where the alternator usually is...

The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

Not a Mopar in the spirit of this thread, but rather a very cool oddball vehicle. Mopar powered from the Monteverdi factory, point was to show a V2 compressor can be mounted atop a 426 DQ and function with stock Mopar components..... I also have a pic of a 70 Challenger T/A w 340/6 and T/A factory hood and T/A 6 pack air cleaner with a V2 mounted up top in the stock location using factory style bracket, granted it was owner made, but with enough thought and preservation anything can be made to happen Mike

 I saw a 1968 Charger that the owner had installed a 426 Street Hemi motor in and he had installed a stock Mopar V twin air conditioning compressor on it up high on the passenger side like Mopar installed them on the 440 motor back in the mid 1970s before the first gas crisis. I think he worked in the Dodge Dealership In San Bernardino, CA as a mechanic so he may have had access to some Mopar parts you and I couldn't get back then to do that install with  He said the air worked really good, it does get above 100 F frequently in the summer down there. I've never seen or heard of any other stock Street Hemi productions cars having air conditioning stock from the factories.

I know certain cars with 440 and certain hoods didn't have A/C. Like a 69 Coronet R/T with an air grabber didn't have A/C. But my question , did they ever put A/C on a 426 Hemi ?? Don't know enough about hemi's and the brackets and accessories if they could or never did in cars. Thoughts? Chrysler did indeed install six paks with ac on a few e bodies. See attached - they did not perform the ac in an e-body 6 pak exercise just for grins. I am sure they did the same with hemis based on research and interviews from people involved in the Chrysler car building & engineering culture of the times. Interviews & Research with real people.  In some one's collection is a red 1970 Challenger JS27V0B with factory ac that came out of the Brian Thomas Collection. Factory Exec car on the tag and H51, misprint according to all the experts....can't be done... The air breather notch for the compressor had rolled edges as it was cut with a die not a cutting tool. Brian Thomas was arrested for securities/stock fraud and the cars auctioned by the fed. Got time on your hands? - go look for the auction/crime info from the mid late 80's and you may find the story. Rochester NY newspaper would be a good place to start looking.  Further research indicates over the last 40 yrs that there was an E body hemi or 2 built in late 1970 model yr with factory AC & H51 on the tag. Try JH23R0B not JS27R0B. Not a miss-print. One of hemi owners who is well known in the blue oval world of never say never built fords has readily offered to provide an affidavit regarding the ac in the hemi Challenger. Argue with him. A couple of those cars may actually exist but i am not allowed to divulge any further info, just like Ryan and his auto archaeology finds where he protect the locations/owners of the cars he finds. There may even be a broadcast sheets for these unicorns but the masses will never get to see them due to the owners wishes. There is a 1971 Challenger JS23V1B Factory exec car with H51 on the tag and ac in the car...documentation exists I don't give a crap if you think this is an old wives tale. Be happy I shared my years of controversial research chasing the unicorns & remember I am just the messenger who knows better. I will not be returning to argue - have ???? Try a PM
