In regards to the Challenger T/A fiberglass hood, I have a letter dated May 4, 1970 from Tom Hoover to Wally Parks, Jack Hart and Farmer Dismuke indicating this hood is now an available option on Challenger’s equipped with 340, 383, 440 4BBL. engines along with the 440 Six Pack and 426 HEMI. I’d be more than happy to share if needed but NHRA has accepted this for over four decades, therefore, it’s a non-issue. Now, the AAR glass hood for non 340 Six Barrel ‘Cudas, that’s another story…

Yes, for the Challenger T/A hood, it is the N94 hood option.

The T/A hood option was available for all engine options as follows:

340/440- Six Pack: P/N 3577395

426 Hemi: P/N 3577396

340/440 - 4 Barrel: P/N 3577457

383 - 4 Barrel: P/N 3577458

Before Billy Nees says it does not exist, these part numbers are straight from the OEM 1970-1971, Chrysler Parts Catalog, Version 14-29-0; not from a racing catalog.
There are documented cars with these hoods and the carburetor base assemblies brings lots of money in the Hemmings catalog.

Calm down there Sparky, while I was typing it I was thinking that I was wrong on the Dodge thing but I am correct about the AAR Cuda hood thing. David has already cracked me in the knuckles.
How long will it take before you say I don't exist? ;-)

The T/A hood was only available on the 1970 challenger not any other year. and the RO 23 HOOD was only available on the 67 RO 23 and WO 23 cars.

The Chrysler parts catalog and the options selection for both 1970 and 1971 years, shows the N94 hood option. The file I posted in my earlier post is the options list for the 1971 Challenger.

Don't worry, ever since I moved from the Bronx, I had to stop cracking knuckles...

Just to add another slice to the pie , in 1978 at Bristol fall race , Robert Leonard of IHRA then mandated that I have frt and rr spoilers on my 68 302 E/S car. With much objection and being told all 302 cars came with such and no others ,I agreed to find and install if previous years champ remove from his 67 350 car. I did not install and I did race,class win and down to 4

I would say that this car and this pic says it all. If a '67 302 had a cowl induction hood, front or rear spoiler this car would have had it in this pic.
