Is there a conersion kit for Pontiac trans am shaker hood sb Chevy engine?

There isn't a readily available, off-the-shelf conversion kit to adapt a Pontiac Trans Am shaker hood to fit a small-block Chevy engine. The shaker hood's design is specifically engineered for the Pontiac engine's intake manifold and air cleaner placement. The Chevy engine's intake and accessories are different, requiring significant custom fabrication.

While some parts *might* be adaptable (like the hood itself), you'd need extensive custom work including:

* Fabricating a new shaker assembly: The existing shaker mechanism won't fit a Chevy engine's intake. You'd need to create a new one, possibly using parts from other shakers or building it from scratch.

* Modifying or replacing the air cleaner: The air cleaner for a Chevy small block won't directly fit the Pontiac shaker housing.

* Adjusting the hood itself: You might need to modify the hood to clear the Chevy engine's accessories (alternator, power steering pump, etc.).

Essentially, making this work would be a highly customized project requiring significant mechanical skills, fabrication expertise, and potentially a lot of trial and error. It's far from a simple bolt-on conversion.
