Aside from stock air cleaners, who is using what on their cars?
I'm looking for something smooth and simple more of a thunderbolt style lid but with a flat top. I also contacted Leon at FordRamAir.com about the Gts ram air cleaner but I had gotten a shock on cost at $1600.00, however I respect then man because it's taken 7 YEARS to just break even. What are you guys using on your Clevelands? |

I made a "home built" ram-air set up, maybe better termed as fresh-air intake. Uses a large air cleaner base out of a mid 70's Lincoln/T'bird, an aftermarket 14" aluminum top, 14" X 4" filter with a hood plate fabbed up to slip over the Lincoln base plate and "seal" to the hood somewhat when closed. The hood scoop is the other part of the equation.

Yeah, It's a Hybrid...It burns gas and tires. No matter how good she looks, somebody, somewhere, is tired of her sh*t. Beauty is skin deep, ugliness goes clear to the bone. |

K&N had a dual inlet air cleaner way back shortly after they started I think. I had their one 14x4" normal round version for a while, it was black plastic I believe. Wow that was long ago.
I like that Thunderbolt looking air cleaner above, it's well done. |

I did the added factory snorkel on my 68 302-2V Montego MX
I guess in the early 50's they weren't too concerned with hood clearance

in a lot of 50s cars, and 60s fullsize, there is like a foot of clearance between the carb and the hood.
