I have a completely stock 70 Sport Satellite that I thought would look pretty cool with an air grabber hood on it. It's a numbers matching 383 2-brl engine with AC. MY question is would an air grabber hood fit and would there be clearance for everything underneath with my stock single snorkel air cleaner, and AC, etc? I realize the "fresh air" wont be effective, I would be doing this for more of a "coolness" factor...:) What all would I need, hood, flapper, solonoid, air lines, switch? Not sure what all is needed to make it work. Obviously wont need the air cleaner stuff....thanks!

This comment is uncalled for. The guy wants to personalize his car and make it look a little cooler - that's why. If we all had your attitude hot rods, modifieds and innovative automotive engineering in general would never happen. It's never a "waste" when someone wants to make a car their own. The pettiness and narrow-mindedness on this forum amazes me sometimes.

The hood fits no problem but it will hit the a/c compressor. Also if your going for the looks factor you should go with a 4 barrel and the correct air cleaner. Gonna look funny with hood open and seeing a snorkle air cleaner on a air grabber hood. You can trim up the air box to clear the compressor, maybe even make a new lower aircleaner base that fits your 2 barrel an top it off with the correct top. There's nothing wrong with adding an air grabber hood but seems a waste if it isn't installed with all of it looking correct.
Thanks all, if the hood is going to hit the a/c compressor then I am going to scrap this whole idea. I want to keep the AC, it still works and blows cold. Or did you mean that the air box mounted on the underside of the hood would hit? Hmmmm...
