Show me some better air cleaners

Post by Unaweep »

Hi, my Bronco has the inner fenders cut away which leads to lots of dust under the hood. While I will eventually install new inner fenders, can someone show me a better way to filter the dust and perhaps a snorkel or some way to bring fresh air to the carburetor?

It a 351W without a body lift and a fiberglass hood if that helps...

Maybe something like this might be most cost effective...

I was going to say look for an AFR Brute Force filter & prefilter/wrap. The ARF is a cleanable dry element filter.

Prefilters are a good idea for any rig, but especially yours.

Chad - I think you mean AEM?? AEM Dry-flow is a cleanable filter, but most important is it is oil-less. Whatever you do, don't get an oiled filter.

Or, just keep a fresh stock of paper filters and change them with the oil??

Yes you are right. AFR makes heads. Alphabet soup.

The snorkel looks the easiest as I have all the dive gear already..


Is there a snorkel out there...most I see are for fuel injected?

You could build a cowl induction intake. Not sure which fiberglass hood you have but I plan
On sealing the air intake off and pull all my air in at the base of the windshield through the cowl induction hood.

I have all the pieces but missing time.

That's a good idea but I haven't changed the oil yet...ever....so that's out.
