1962 Lancer GT w/Hyper-Pak on ebag - anybody ever see a factor scoop setup like this?
The "Kit" was never a factory installed option, unless you count the 7 Daytona Valiants. The kit was developed using the 170 engine. You had to purchase the parts from Chrysler parts and then have the dealer or you would install. They fit either 170 or 225 engines, hood clearance is tight on the 225. So it could have been used in a B Body. And the scoop does look like a 69 Cuda scoop to me as well.
Was "the kit" for both motors? Why is the 225 H-P compression different? Must have been pistons too. Yes...it was sold as a slant six kit, my mistake unless you were a factory backed racer then you got the whole package delivered. Although developed for the 170, it still fit in a 225. "The Hyper Pak was a parts package made available from 1960 through 1962 at Chrysler Corporation dealer parts counters" Included a lot of parts: "..The Hyper Pak consisted of a very-long-ram
intake manifold meant to accept an AFB 4-barrel
Carter Carburetor, the AFB carburetor itself and an appropriate
air cleaner, dual (front-3 and rear-3) cast-iron
exhaust headers, a large-diameter exhaust Y-pipe to connect to these dual cast-iron headers, a larger Imperial muffler, a 276°-duration
camshaft with appropriate valve springs and pushrods, a heavier-duty
clutch, a manual choke control, a starter motor modification template and, in the
full-race version of the package, high-compression pistons designed to increase the (170) engine's
compression ratio to 10.5 from the stock 8.5...."
