Installed a new air cleaner!
Nothing too special...just wanted to see how many of you guys were bored enough to look.
 It is part of the project to clean up the nasty old engine that was in my 71 Cheyenne SWB. I got the truck painted in a hurry and didn't get the engine cleaned up first...that is not the way to do it...what a mess. |

...as you can see I powdercoated the intake, pulleys & brackets. Matching valve covers and notice I hooked up the pcv valve (built in breather) and the vent hose from valve cover to air cleaner. I use a 1" aluminum spacer to lift the air cleaner just enough to clear the hei. The stock tin spacer is just too tall and not cool.

Looks very nice with a good mix of color, finish, and texture. May I ask what the powdercoating cost and what color the intake manifold is?

I do stock & sell the valve covers & air cleaners and 1" spacers.
The intake is silver metalic. It has a lot of metal flake in it. I can't give you a price as I have a lot of pieces done and get commercial rates. Remember the center ports are probably going to burn off if you have the open intake gaskets for stock choke. I drill & tap the bottom of the air cleaner and use a heater hose fitting to connect the hose to an elbow in the valve cover. The hose to air cleaner is just a lot cleaner & dryer than breathers on a daily driver. The pvc alone lets the motor build up too much pressure and blows out the gaskets. Don't ask me how I know.

Frank...your carb is on backwards! It is going to make your engine run backwards. Don't start it...SERIOUSLY!

pcv/breather
Try Summit or Jegs...The hose is just hose and the air cleaner fitting is a heater hose fitting. I cannot remember where I got that elbow and I need some more.
