I have a 1970 Coronet R/T ; single hood scoop. I want to convert it to a Ram Air system. How do I find the parts to switch it over ? A440Mag

1st thing ....Don't ruin a power bulge hood they are too hard to find.

I just converted my flat 1970 Coronet hood to a Ram Charger style dual scoop hood, if you have a power bulge hood, I would be interested in swapping hoods and working out the rest

All you would need is a ram charger dual scoop hood I know where there is one for sale for $1800 (had scoops, trim, latch, etc I would have grabbed it if I had a truck with me, should still be there), then an air grabber air cleaner, depending on which engine and carb you have, they are $500 ish, then the cables bolts, rivets, filter, gaskets, seals, etc another $300, and lastly an air grabber setup, well technically a ram charger assembly $700ish...

SO everything is about $3300, hardest part to source is going to be the hood... The good news is your hood is worth really good money right now, probably most of what the rc hood would cost you if its solid and in good shape...

I know a guy who bought an entire car just to get that setup for his car, lol, it was only $12K, and he actually put his hood on that car, did a bit of work to it and sold it for $16K a short while later...

Ive built several of the Ram Charger hood, and i have my own pattern i use to lay it all out. I order the aftermarket chrysler authorized scoops and bezels and install those. I have an original air box i lay all this out with. The hardest part is finding the original air box to complete the set up. The cables can all be bought repo. They do make repo's, but i heard they are not that great. I have a flat hood I could make one for you out of here, and I'd figure a swap some way on your power bulge hood.
