Cool air intake question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Fred T · 06-26-2003, 02:12 PM

Looking for a way to get a cool air intake setup on my 69. One disadvantage of headers is the heat emission. Does anyone have a kit or way to set one up that looks good and doesn't use spent shell casings from Iraq?

Come to think of it, with a welder and the right size of shell casings...

There are a few of us that have done different things. I used to run a ram-air box on my GMC stepside. Here is a picture of my GMC stepside with ram-air the day I ended up taking it off. On the GMCs there is a hole through the core support and I just put the tubes through. I moved the high/low beams to the inside and ran a screen where the other headlights would have been. On a Chevy, you don't have the extra hole to use and you would have to route the tubes elsewhere.

NSANE68!!! has a site where he sells a different style cold air intake. Probably the one that would work better than a ram-air box on your 69 Chevy.
