You'll change that mind-set the first time the foam element melts to the inside of a $600+ carb. I ran one, 1 time on my 66, never again

 

Well shit, i never heard of that happening before. There is a cage inside of it. I dont know what else I can fit on top. Even after I put a hole in the hood, the thing is almost touching the scop. You got me a lil worried now.

 

I thought a Moroso drop style air cleaner sits lower then the one pictured.

 

You should be!! One backfire with alittle flame and it's all over. I would run with out one before i use it.

john

cool car!!

 

Wow, I didn't know this thread was gonna focus on air breathers this much. I glad I put my safety remark in about not using this type filter because I too have seen them fail..I do plan to run a two inch tall k&n by 14 in round with a breathe thru top lid..Normally I would run a 4 inch tall but do to space I'm going with two inch with the breathe thru k&n top.I believe this will give me enough air for the engine performance..Here's a pic of a fellow TR member's big block with motorplate,this is also the type of plate I will be using instead of traditional motor mounts(more room for headers with the plate setup)

 

here's the top of the air filter..

 

10-4 wine was a sticky mess.

 

Those last pics you posted Donnie, was that the car that Roby had? I really like that car, Kevin bought it and had it for sale, not sure if its still around or not

 

One would think when buying these they would be flame retardent....far from it, found out the hard way first hand

 

Ill have to look into that filter, had I been able to find a cowl hood for the capri this wouldnt matter
