I recently purchased a 73 Firebird and I'd like to put a shaker hood on. My question is, what intake manifolds will or won't work with a shaker hood? I'd like to use an Edelbrock Victor or Performer RPM intake. This would be on a 400 engine.

Also are there any aftermarket companies making a nice fiberglass shaker hood? If so, do they also have the shaker scoop? Thanks!!

Check out Blocker Industries...do a web search. They have a kit to allow aftermarket performance manifolds and holley carbs to be used with the shaker hood.
Theres a couple of companies selling repro shaker scoops, sorry - don't have the websites handy.
