    V8 Swap Air Filter Housing?

    that "magic" tube around the headlight area you note is not part of the 60 setup.....(which may be obvious) given the different models and the different air cleaner housings. Right now I've got some cables / wires running through that hole :) Great pics and info. Is that tube that...

    My friend can do any welding I need.....I'm still exploring this, thanks for the feedback, tig or whatever else. Yea clean setup on your side. I understand I might need to customize the lid of the OEM FJ62 air cleaner housing...

    V8 Swap Air Filter Housing?

    I recall seeing one in the past (5.7 TBI).... would be very similar to 5.7 vortec, but I think the TBI throttle body is about center on the intake. From my memory the guy ran the stock GM air cleaner setup. I dont' have any pics ... .I had a 5.7 TBI at one time, the air filter housing...

    V8 Swap Air Filter Housing?

    probably the best approach on the 5.7 vortec, is to adapt the GM OEM housing in some manner. I'm betting some of those cold air intake pipes have a fairly large radius that might not clear the hood on the 60, vs the clearance on a GM pickup/SUV. That housing that caps the top of the throttle...

    V8 Swap Air Filter Housing?

    Anyone with a FJ62 or otherwise, know or have pics showing whats attached to the tube of the air filter housing that runs over into the fenderwell area ? I don't' know off hand if I have any pics of that....

    this view just shows the top of the engine in a little better perspective. With GM OEM air intake removed.

    V8 Swap Air Filter Housing?

    this shows a close up look of the throttle body, it sits facing straight up ...similar to a carb in configuration, but its about 3/4 of the way towards the front side or radiator side of the intake manifold which is unusal, but thats just the way its made.

    V8 Swap Air Filter Housing?

    this shows OEM intake pipe fully removed (ALL GM) and the OEM GM air filter, that end of he intake pipe plugs into the end of air filter. I just took it off to show the parts by themself.

    V8 Swap Air Filter Housing?

    now we are talking, looks like someone made a custom lid for the the air filter housing, got to be a map sensor floating around in there somewhere... also seems to be some type of custom hold down setup as well there in the center of the tube coming off the lid. That does look pretty clean. I...

    https://www.summitracing.com/search/part-type/air-intake-kits/make/chevrolet/engine-size/5-7l-350 as a side thought, might get some "cold air intake" for the intake tube etc..then adapt that to the 62 air cleaner. Just a thought at this point....

    V8 Swap Air Filter Housing?

    good ideas....good pics and talking points.... all ideas and pics are good thing.... the 5.7 vortec is a different engine series than 5.3 and 6.0 etc. 5.7 vortec is basically a old school 5.7 (GM 350) with fuel injection. The word "vortec" is not a unique expression to the 5.7 or 5.3 or...

    V8 Swap Air Filter Housing?

    yea...that a 5.3, but it does appear its a FJ62 air filter housing and I'm guessing that works good. I'm wondering if I can use the FJ62 air filter housing , like I have pics of, and then adapt an air way from the MAF to the air filter.... The OEM air way which you can see from my pics...

    V8 Swap Air Filter Housing?

    the 5.7 vortec has a MAF downstream from the throttle body, and from my memory one or more sensors in the "air way tube" on the other side of the MAF, between the MAF and the air filter. I';m not sure if you could make something like this work on a 5.7 vortec. But I want to go to something...

    V8 Swap Air Filter Housing?

    the top of my engine looks like a 1998 or so , gm pickup or SUV (pics above). thanks for the postings...I'll check things out. I have kind of a "rats nest" of crap running around and I may get that looking better at some point...pending my motivation. The suck is the MAF and related piping...

    V8 Swap Air Filter Housing?

    There may be some discussion on this buried in the forum...but I'm going to ask others to chime in here again.... I've got a 1986 Fj60, 5.7 Vortec V8, right now I have the air filter housing out of a GM pickup/suv that matches the engine, which works, but I'm not a huge fan of. At one time I...
