A couple of Mopar "legality" questions...??

If a guy was goofy enough to try and run something OTHER THAN a 440-6bbl in a 69 Road Runner in Stock or SS, would the glass 6-bbl hood be legal?? The rule book doesn't say about it being original related to the engine combo just as long as it's "as originally produced". I think I've seen a few 70 Cuda shaker hoods on non-Hemi or 6-bbl stockers and I KNOW I have seen a pic of a SS 70 440-bbl Cuda in Div 1 a few years ago with an AAR hood. THAT didn't come that way...

Another question: Rulebook says nothing about SS cars trimming of rear wheelwells (I thought is used to say 2" front and rear...or something like that). My question is would "stretched" (approx 3") openings on a Duster be legal in SS? You HAVE to stretch them in a 66-67 Nova or 68-69 340 or 440 Dart to get a big tire in, right...??

Thanks in advance for your input!
