| Post subject: | Clifford Hyperpak for a 61 valiant |
I saw the 62 hyperpak at the slant six show at clifford last weekend- It concerned me the hood was cut to fit the air cleaner. I want to put one of these manifolds in one of my 61 Valiants but I am not willing to sacrifice a hood. I looked back through photos of the Nascar Valiant, Falcon, Corvair race to see if the hyperpak Valiants had their hoods cut - None of them did - the setup they ran fit under the hood. Is the Clifford hyperpak a taller setup than the original? Or did the 62 I saw at the show just have the hood cut to get the cold air advantage? BTW - Clifford claimed to have the Hyperpaks in stock today - so I put my order in. We will see how soon they deliver. |

According to most sources, the element/pie tin wouldn't fit so they either ran without one or made something work to get the hood to shut... -D.Idiot |

You can get a decent air cleaner onto a Hyper-Pak "low block" 170 but hood clearance become pretty tight with the taller 225. The factory used an air cleaner withan off-set base to help move the air cleaner more towards the center for more hood clearance. DD |

I've seen an Abod Barracuda complete with Hyper Pak and offset Shaker hood in an old Mopar Magazine. That'd be cool. |

Well it only took two months and a few days for Clifford to deliver the manifold that was "in stock". I guess there are somethings for which you must wait. And on the plus side they did deliver - not like the ebay hyperpak which I never saw. But that is another story. Let the fitting, grinding, and engine building begin !!! |

For the Air cleaner how about a 14inch circular baseplate a thin spacer and a X stream lid might be good for a low profile setup? |

I looked through the runners and inside the plenum - It has some casting flash (or slag) but it is not one of the ones that had the photos posted. It looks like I will need to get a dremel tool with a long flexible feed to remove the casting flash from the inside of the two middle runners - the rest looks pretty clean. I haven't done a check fit on the head yet (to see if the mounting holes are lined up) As for the Air cleaner - I bought a 14" x 2" (maybe 3") offset setup from Summit. The offset will keep it from getting into the fender area where the hood is rolling off. I am putting it on a 170 - so that buys me an inch on the height - Probably will also skip the adapter Clifford sold me - just drill and tap the carb pattern into the manifold directly - that will give me another .5" on height. It still looks real close - Sure hope I don't need to cut the hood. |

I seen an offset air cleaner assembly in a recent Jegs or Summit catalog. It was in the section with stock car stuff. Might help a little? Rick |
