Project: Cuda 440 - Truly Done! 4/1

that thing is a lot bigger now that its mounted. holy crap! it'll look awesome in there though

Well, considering that the fan on the heatsink now is 120mm (I assume), you would need four 30mm (25 maybe) fans on the side of it, and then make some pipes like these pictured.

Looking at the heatsink again now though, I'm not sure you'll be able to do that on the sink itself, although the metaphor for the CPU being the engine, and then having the heatsink look like an engine, would be pretty cool.

You might be able to do that same idea on the side of the case though. Although, like I said before, I think you probably already have a vision in mind.

Can you help me think of something for the top? I don't want to copy my SuperBee with the same hood scoop, but I'm running low on ideas

Hmmmm...
Maybe a custom-made spoiler at the back?

Not sure if something like that would really stay within your design vision or not though.

You could go with eight straight carburetor pipes like these, although it's a little more hot-rod than muscle car.

Or bent . . .

You could also go for the Shaker that was on the Hemi Cuda. Here's a pic of a 1/6 scale model that you can find online for ~$30. I'm not sure what the original shaker dimensions are, but if 1/6th of that is skinnier than the top of the case, then it will fit with little modification (I love the HemiCuda, and thought of doing a mod like this using this idea. I got the inspiration from your superbee) I should add that you would probably have to put 426 on the side instead of 440 since the Shaker was featured on the 426 only I believe.

Edit: I stand corrected. This is from a rendering of the Chrysler turbine car if it had made it to production.

Here's one of the videos showing a 1972 Cuda 440 that got me on to this mod.



And another with the shaker

ok, sooooo I'm going out on a limb here...maybe put some doughnuts on top?

j/k of course

Nice car!

A spoiler is a good idea but really not the look I think your going for. I think a black scoop would go perfectly, a nice black one. I know you don't want to copy SuperB but it is a good idea.

The last idea is cool but doesn't suit the car he is modeling. More hot rod/drag car than classic muscle IMO.
