Dual snorkel air cleaner, who's got em'?

[leftybass209]

Today, I headed out to the local wrecking yard to pick up an OEM single snorkel air cleaner I knew was out there, to finish my dual snorkel project. Of course is disappeared, but laying down next to a 67 suburban, was what I believe is a 70-72 z28 dual snorkel air cleaner base.

It's in the process of being stripped and painted.

Who else is rockin' a dual snorkel setup?

thinkin about it, so here is a pic I found....

Not exactly a dual snorkel, but a dual intake. It looks better than the rest of my engine compartment right now.

That's exactly like the air cleaner base I picked up today.

Close enough, that looks great!

I have an LT-1 dual snorkel (like shown) and matching valve covers for my '67. Nice junkyard find! They are reproduced, but if that's an original, they ain't cheap. They add a lot of cool factor and better performance than single inlet, but tests on the Camaros they came on show a healthy increase in power when replaced with an open element type.

I just ordered this one for my 67 gmc build!

That looks like the hot 327 Nova SS air cleaner. I'd love to find one of those for my 327

So I was wondering if anyone had something like this? Wondering about the fit. Any thoughts?

Here is my OEM dual.

My repop dual snorkle looks identical to this. I got it through the Truck Shop in Orange County, CA. I also got the proper decals. Cost about $240 for black painted version. A bit more for a chromed version. A lot of cheddar to cough up, but it really looks nice.

I have a 1970 Camaro Lt-1 version on my 68, it has resided there for over 30 years, Took it off of a Camaro I scrapped. I did change the top cover to put a taller filter in.

Been thinking about one of theres for mine. Chances of finding an original around here are pretty slim. I also would like to be able to find one that hooks up to all the stuff that's attached to my stock single snorkel air cleaner.

You're funding Aborigines? What the *#&@ is going on up in the "Great White North" these days?

Good one, I guess we need spell check on here.

Frankly autocorrect, I'm tired of your shirt.

Aftermarket on my TBI 7.4l.....

Here's mine from an 80s z28. Have all the ducting for it but it's got cracks all over. I'll find something eventually for the ductwork

Resurrecting an old thread...

The dual snorkel air cleaners have stock look to them yet are appealing because of the symmetry.


Jay Doerfler's 72 C10 with a 1970 Camaro LT1 intake featured on Hot Rod Network is attached below.

I'd like to run a similar setup using a C3 Corvette (78-81) air cleaner assembly, similar to BlackedOut67shorty's 80s Z28 cleaner but connect the thermostatic valves on each snorkel so they work with cold starts.

Has anyone tried or had success running a dual snorkel connected to the exhaust manifold stove and chimney (ductwork)? If so, what stove and chimney parts did you use?

[SCOTI]

I did this on a g-body ElCamino years ago. This application had headers so it required some creativity. Manifolds are as simple as finding/having the factory style brackets @ the manifold & connecting the generic replacement heat-stove flex tubing between the two.

I used local auto parts store exhaust reducer/adapter for the base required to attach to the header tube. I notched out the adapter as needed so it would straddle the 1 5/8 header tube. Once I was happy w/that, I cut slots 180° across from each other. The slots only need to be wide enough to slip a worm-gear clamp through (I used a stainless-steel radiator hose clamp). The clamp went through the slots in the reducer (over the top of the tube) & then wrap around under the header tube. I tightened the adapter into place so it had the best angle to the air cleaner mount. I used standard heat-stove emissions tubing to go from the air cleaner snorkel to the adapter on the header.

This was years ago but I'll look & see if I still have the bracket/adapter for a visual if my descript isn't enough.

Thanks for the reply SCOTI. Sounds like it will work without too much difficulty. An exhaust shop may be able to make up a small piece of tubing for a new custom chimney/heat riser. Feel free to share any photos you may have.

Put one on my 72 C10 with 350 a few years ago.

Ive got one but on my survivor 72 Z28

Great looking motors. The air cleaners are a nice touch.

Already Gone: You show what appears to be an OE stove assembly. If you were to run the thermostatic version like the second photo in post № 19, do you think the breather tube would interfere with running a chimney to connect the two?

It looks like it would be challenging to keep the air cleaner centered if connecting a stove pipe/chimney. What do you think?

Good question and I have no clue but am sure you could fab something up. The truck gets parked from October till April every year so don't need the heat thing. The original heat pipe et al was on the truck when I bought it. I tried to remove the metal piece on the exhaust manifold but bolts didnt want to budge and didnt want to destroy it.
