Thread: Unique or "Differant" Air Cleaner

that is sweet looking spike.

i have always wanted to use a cymbal for the top for the top of the air cleaner. There are lots of things you could do to it. thats my two cents.

yeah wish i had of designed it myself!

im thinking something similar and maybe running cold air ducts to the inlets on either side-something better looking than flexible tube though!

single quad? dual quad? I like the setup you showed. gives a very clean look. whatever you choose just think outside the box. don't limit yourself to what others have done already.

Love that!!!

yeah i agree. im at the stage where im looking at as many ideas as i can-like the pic i showed- and then think "what could i change on that". Im a sheetmatal fabricator by trade so am lucky that i can make alot of things myself-as well as being handy with fiberglass.

like lotsatoys said if you could let us know the carb set up it would make it easier to give suggestions.

That one you pictured, SpikeO, is actually a fairly rare one that Buick used on some cars (I think Wildcats). Someone dressed it up with pinstriping. I think they were painted red originally, but could be wrong on that.

I'm using a single 4bbl/EPS manifold(lowrise) but I must also clear the HEI dist.

I'm looking into several differant kits to build my own that has a ram air effect and can be painted/powder coated or chromed.

Try to picture this in your head.
Using 1 or 2 of these kits like in the pic.

I scratched my head for a long time on that as well but "settled" for a Billet Specialties small oval. I like it, but for one thing, the element size is too small and it still is a 'settled for' version. That Buick cleaner pictured above is nice, but not for my particular car. It has to 'fit' what you are trying to do physically and blend with what ever else you have on the engine and follow that theme. If it's too big, it overwhelms the visual effect, too small, it would have the appearance of a pimple on a........you fill in the blank
