I'm working on this myself. I emailed a company in Canada relative to fitment, but never heard anything from them. I found the same air grabber kit at moparplus and they lowered the price when I advised them of the Canadian site's price. I have ordered the base, large orange lid, and filter. I'm waiting for it to come in.

I inquired as to fitment and clearance and was advised that it would be fine with the OE intake manifold.

I had considered adding the Air Grabber, but found it to be cost prohibitive. What kind of prices are you coming up with?

 

[ricks_RR]

ok I am looking for the plastic 3 piece that is riveted on the hood to see how it fits

This is what I was referring to.

Then don't you have to have the hood louvers and vents? It got to pricey for me.

thank you that's awesome better price then I found .but how does it fit does it need shims or is it a fit like the original

 

[RAINMANYEH]

Look at the link for the upper. It has pop rivets to secure it to the hood. I have not ordered one yet, as I'm awaiting the engine rebuild to get her back home. I should have the base and lid next week.

If you by chance do locate a better price, with the same parts numbers, email them and Jason will probably meet their price. He did on the base and changed it on their site.

great I have not seen a better price where are these made .I am really looking to order it soon

I have the correct hood on my 69 RR to accept an air grabber but i'm not sure if one would fit.
Does any one have any measurements ? Especially the height.

 

[RAINMANYEH]

Do you have an OE intake manifold or an aftermarket? You need to watch the height of it. From what I've been advised, most aftermarket intake manifolds cause a fitment issue due to height. There are a few that have the same deck height as the OE.

 

[ricks_RR]

if the hood is the original to the car then all the hood will take the airgrabber set up .just watch out make sure there is not a spacer block under the carb that will put it up to high and not work

 

[69hemibeep]

383 road runners and 440 GTX used a different air cleaner on air grabbers do to deck height be careful.

 

[69B5]

I do believe it is the original intake manifold but it does look like spacer blocks under the carb.

 

[ricks_RR]

etelbrok makes a low profile spacer .it stops heat from boiling the gas out of the carb and works well only about 1/2 inch high .I am hoping that it will work if I pick up the airgrabber set up :yesnod:

I just had a thought.
Is the air grabber the same as the ram charger?
If so, I could measure the ram charger on my 440

 

[ricks_RR]

I do believe it is but the ramcharger is orange in color

Same set-up, Fran. Just different decals. Here's some info from the 1966 - 1970 B-Body Restoration Book.
