?????

Hey 72Dart6pack, I realize this is an older post but.......I have your set up that I want to installation a '71 340 Demon. Wondering if there are any clearance issues. Thanks.

My initial post didn’t pertain to the OP’ers question but after a review, it may pertain to you.

Search for my buddy “ legendary number” John @ FASTBACK340 & his threads titled “Cuda Capers”

He did a 6 pack set up in his Cuda.

RIP to John, AKA FASTBACK340, an excellent and fun loving guy who will be missed. and is very much so now.

If you find the hood torsion bars interfere with the 6 pak air cleaner, you might consider getting rid of the bars and converting to gas struts. I am doing that on my 65 wagon to give it a cleaner look under the hood. View attachment 1715110794

Do I have to remove the fender to replace the strut?

The way others including myself, the fenders have to be removed. Mine are already off so it was easy. If I need to replace one that gets worn out, I should be able to remove the rear splash shield to access the bottom mount. After I did the conversion I had the hood open on my 2013 Chsllenger and saw they used struts that were easily accessible up top at the fender.

What part numbers and brand are those struts? Thanks.

The struts are from a late 90’s - 2000’s Mitsubishi Montero rear hatch. I bought them from a company on eBay. Definitely happy with the way they work (and cleans up the engine compartment!)
