The only thing unique about the air grabber for a Hemi Vs a wedge is the "sock" that is in the drivers side duct. The duct (except for the hole) is exactly the same. The breather base is (obviously) different, but the LID is the same as the single 4V lid.

A regular (non-Hemi) fresh air hood can be converted to a "Hemi" hood by adding the rubber boot like this reproduction part listed on eBay:

A rectangular hole has to be corrected located to install the boot. Check out the various pictures included in the listing... BTW, not my listing on eBay.

an original part is still very hard to find, I know what I have paid for the real HEMI air grabber duct in the past, I think it's great that somebody has remade this part,I have not seen it in person but it looks good, I thought it may help to bring up a few of these unique items so the buyer of this car is aware of the different parts he may or may not need to locate, If it is still with the car it is a bonus, Rich

It's a scare tactic plain and simple. Intake and exhaust manifolds were Hemi specific, as were the valve covers and other pieces, but as XS29J8 and I have both pointed out, the air grabber wasn't.

didn't mean to scare you boy's but the part is different, but as stated it can be made, with hope this car still has the REAL parts on it, and you are correct, the intake and exhaust manifolds and valve covers are unique, along with almost every other piece of the engine,

There's nothing like stating the obvious

Yeah, but both the wedge and hemi engine displacements started with the same number....."4"

That's my point. We all know that those parts are unique to the Hemi. But someone here is trying to say the air grabber is as unique......which it isn't
