Yes, I think you are correct, but not with the max wedges. 383s and 361s?
Thanks,

If its a MAX Wedge body (clone or real) it should have a hinged alum hood, scoop and fenders. Max Wedge STEEL cars never had a hood scoop. The only lift off hoods in 1964 were the 330 2 door sedans and 2 door sedan Savoys but Im not saying all of the 2 door Hemi sedans had lift off hoods. As John Lang said some most likly came (Late Build date) with hinged hoods. One more car......several years ago Dave Wren and Mopar somehow got a 2 door hardtop Belvedere with an Alum front end legal and in the class guide using a race Hemi to drop into a lower class and it was runner up at Indy a long time ago. If this is the combo in question then the hood should still be hinged. Mother MOPAR made some wierd stuff when it suited them or NHRA rules dictated it. Maybe Carrol Shelby wrote a letter.....LOL. and the games continue.

terry i have the paper work givin to my dad by farmer in the early 1980's that states in s/s these cars (322 body) can run all of the aluminum(fenders doors hood scoop single head light grill etc) hinged hood with light springs etc. my father and uncle george ran ss/ba from 1984 with our car and it is still a ss/ba car now, the only thing we were not allowed to use was the afx plexiglass front windshield (travis made sure of that), the paper work even allows the use of plexi or lexan replacement side windows as long as it is the same thickness as the light weight glass.
that is the nice part of ss/gt for the mopars ,hood scoop hemi car with a 273,340,361b block? any thing is possible

The 1964 Hemi Alum front end 2 door Plymouth Savoys and 330 Dodge 2 door sedans assembly line produced for S/S (and A/FX) are the cars I was refering to and are the ones that CAME factory equiped with 4 threaded rods and large wing nuts to hold the hoods on with. I was NOT talking about the Belvedere 2 door hard tops (alum or steel) or made up cars like Dave Wrens Fury hard top. Farmer could have made them do anything back in the day. and it became a "trickel down" effect after all of the 45+ years.

Is this the "6.40" combo that had the hood "pins"? I think these had the aluminum doors and hinges as well as all the other aluminum parts from the lightweight package.
