Thanks, Roy. I am jealous of the Ram Air. My snorkleless air cleaner seems even more pitiful. Sad

If anyone is following this thread, how may of you are using a stock air cleaner (with or without snorkle) with an aftermarket carb/intake setup? I'm trying the envision this picture with a performance intake and a 750 DP.

   

Anyone ever seen something like that?

I can throw the stock air cleaner on and snap a pic if you'd like to see it.

That would be cool, Jeff. Why aren't you using it all the time? Is it just personal preference, looks, or something to do with breathability?

Thanks!

Thanks, man. We just got a ton of snow, so it'll be a little while before I do much more than tinker and dream. Head rebuild is getting closer every day.

Doc,

Here are the pics, sorry for the delay.
With the ram air and stock. The stock does not fit properly, it hits the Duraspark distributor. Also an Edelbrock performer and a holley, no spacer... yet.
