    WTB Vintage air cleaner like a 50's Oldsmobile dual inlet

     



    Like the title says, I'm looking for a vintage air cleaner to put on my car. I'd like a dual inlet Oldsmobile style or anything odd and unique. Thanks Ryan.

    As I recall, somebody started repopping those air cleaners a while back.

    Here is one thing I found on the subject...

    The cast aluminum version, with fins, is also available again.

    How about something like this - O'Brien Truckers Introduces New Batwing Air Cleaner for Cadillacs & Oldsmobiles

    Here's the O'Brien web site - those things are not inexpensive @$200-$350 - Air Cleaners - O'Brien Truckers

    I do like the idea downsize yet keeping the shape as the original size repro's/oem's that I've seen are way too big for most street rod size cars, overwhelming the engine

    Thanks guys! I think I might spend a little more and get the O'Brien one. I think I'll get plain finned and then polish it my self.

    Finned one is nice. But don't be afraid of the larger stock one with a wild set of pinstripes. You have a huge engine and the big air cleaner will look right at home on it. Your engine will fill the 40 compartment, nice.
