any suggestions for 426 hemi holly x2 cross ram air cleaners that will let me close hood if possible - stock hood 69 RR
thanks

I use these from Summit. No name brand with no lettering. I believe 9” diameter.
I have a hood scoop; probably won’t work with stock hood.

A little finicky, depends on how much you'll put up with. There a tuning thread on crossrams. It's long but helpful. I'm not as finicky as Mr. Crainum. https://www.forbbodiesonly.com/moparforum/threads/so-anybody-try-a-wideband-o2-on-a-crossrammed-hemi-yet.237148/

Depends on cam selection and dedication to tuning. I drove a buddies 472 cross ram automatic 25 miles home from a show. It behaved like a stock 440 car. (Except for the manual valve body).

Definition of a street car and street friendly vary with the user. I consider mine street friendly but it’s not my daily driver.
It idles at 900 rpm and I don’t left foot brake at a stop light. However throttle response is either off or on so leaving a stop light without spinning tires can be a challenge.
I have 609 lift solid roller, 4200 converter and 4.30 gears.
