i forgot about the CH28 being taller than the CH4B. i already have a drop base air cleaner [moroso] on the T-Quad with the 5/8" thick adapter needed for the CH4B, and the stock hood on my charger barely shuts now. i guess the CH28 is out of the question to use.
i don't want to cut my hood for a scoop, so unless i can find a taller flat hood, i'm out of luck.

Not having to use the 5/8 thermoquad adapter won't help enough?

not using the adapter WOULD help, but i would like to try a pair of T-quad carbs without hacking on the intake, plus use an air cleaner of some sorts other than a pair of tiny diameter ones that have only 1 1/2" thick elements.
the other option would be to use my '62 max wedge intake with it's small factory [3407 ?] carbs.
once again, height may come into play, as i would like a good air cleaner without hacking up my flat hood.

pretty sure you would need to cut the under hood bracing out to fit a cross ram with air cleaners. the plenum under the carbs of a ch28 isn't large and would take some work to get those 2 1/4" throttle bores in there. 1 11/16" throttle bores are pretty much the limit on my intake.
