I recently added a NOS mechanical tach drive distributor and Jones tach. NOW I just need to find the 103 octane Chevron "White Pump" @ about 41 cents a gallon, then I will have arrived. |
Here's mine

When I first started thinking about a Cobra was considering a big block Chev in the 540ci range,then bumped into a true Ford man.Yup, he was out spoken and said it would be a crime not to put a Blue Oval between the frame rails and sold me a 460. No complaints whatsoever these big Fords built right will ROCK!

Bringing this thread back to life to specifically ask about air cleaners. I've read hundreds of posts on the topic here, but I found this thread as i was looking for ideas as to what i'd use for mine.
Here's the issue, my motor needs to be lifted a bit due to oil pan clearance issues, easy enough. The air cleaner i'm using today is an oval OEM piece with a 3" K&N (E1963), aand it fits perfect. When i dyno'd the engine, Ford Racing 392, it made more power in this configuaration that without a filter at all. And when i ran the stock paper 1 7/8 or whatever stock is, it pulled almost 40hp. I know paper is the worst, but it got me thinking. I see quite a few pics on this thread alone with what appears to be 9" air cleaners with 2" or so height elements. Is it possible that's enough? I can't imagine it would be. The math says a K&N filter would need to be 3" tall with a 14" diameter for a motor at roughly 500hp at 6000rpm, roughly. My issue goes back to my oval air cleaner with a 3" tall K&N. I'd love to keep it, but can't due to the leading edge hitting the hood. The next size down K&N is at the factory 1 7/8 tall. Is that enough? |
