I would assume you would have to make a bracket to make it fit correctly, but there is someone with a shaker on an M112, so anything can be done if you have patience...

Like SIX said you can do anything with enough money....but being the Shaker is $700-800 plus the cost of fab up something to make the whole thing work, plus the cost of buying a new shaker hood ($400-500) and get it painted, OR take the risk of trying to cut your own hood yourself....sounds like it will add up fast.

well the whole paint and hood thing isnt a problem, i worked for an autobody shop and the owner is a family friend so all i have to do is just pay for the paint and prep the hood my self and he'll paint it for me plus im gonna paint the hood like a 69 mustang so illl be using alot of flat black and a little red, i guess im gonna just have to look more into it and see if i can fab a bracket my self, if any body who has the shaker kit i would really like to know all the stuff the kit comes with and maybe pics if possible

Shaker hood is more for looks than performance. They do help on bigger motors with F/I or 4 barrel carbs, but smaller motors and most modern cars, they are a waste aside from the look.
