Dave Bortman ran a shaker set up with a 383 on his 1970 Rod Shop Challenger, and did quite well in SS/JA.

Re: Hood scoopes
 

I believe Boertman's car was a 71 383 with the small Holley carb???? Mine was a 71 383 and it had a shaker hood and "scoop-ayyy" on it. I ordered it new in the early spring of 71 just for racing. No other options other than the hood, an automatic, tinted glass, and posi rear. NHRA probably allows them on the 70 383 model as the street Hemi 'Cudas had them. NHRA seems to allow "scoop-e's" on everything else.

Phillip, You can run the shaker hood on a 1970 Cuda with the 340, 4 barrel, the 383, 4 barrel, the 440 six-barrel, and the 426 hemi. I hope that helps.

On the Cuda yes, Although they only came on Six Packs and Hemis. But can I claim the car as a 383 Barracuda and use the shaker. ?

Phillip, If you will look at the engine specs. for thr 1971 Chrysler you will see it list two diferent carbs for the 383/ 300 hp. its under note 4. I think its a 6191 list for auto 4668 list for the stick. The 340 even had a shaker along with the 1970 440/ 370. Hope this helps.

Thanks Larry, My question is regarding a 1970 Barracuda not a 1971 Cuda though.

P.S I finally bought some new radial slicks for the Coronet but they didn't help although it is going thru the traps with more RPM now, Enough to get back into valve float again.aaarrrggghhhhh!

Phillip,

When I came home from my Southeast Asian vacation I bought a new '70 Cuda with 340, 4sp and a Shaker Hood. If the 340's had them then I'm sure the 383's had them.

FR-------S don't worry we will have the YENG--ling and bring the 66 Dodge it's probably factored better than the 68 R/R JUST LEAVE THE SCOOP HOME BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT NO SCOOPS IN 1966 NOTHING !!!!!! Bender is doing much better, he even came out to E-TWN - watch what you say spies may be watching YOU !!!
