rear body mounts

Similar to what I was ing. Or take cardboard template to auto parts store to find correct angle . Is that 90° ? I would take the box off and remove pipe, plug hole and relocate for correct angle

Was a compound angle

I used four pieces to make the connection.

Now I have to weld to the box. Will have very little painting to do, as the box is nicely powder coated.

Think that’s gonna do it.

Hope that is going to fix the power problem. Just have to try Vegas again in the heat of the day. Would love to get the 119 outside temp.

Next is to figure out why my AC compressor kept cycling on and off, never giving me the much needed cooling. When I went home last time at 5am, when it was 80*, the ac worked great! Really needed it when it was 119!!!

Nice work

 

[xtiaan2000]

A little more blue please.

 

[xtiaan2000]

Thinking about something like this to create more flow.

Thoughts?

 

[scrapdaddy]

You have to think about water getting in there, also.

 

[xtiaan2000]

Hmmm, not sure how that would work, any ideas.
Gonna pull up some looks on how it works with snorkels.

Just make sure you spray water in the vent and watch if it runs out the front of the fender. You might have to trim the bottom of those baffles inside the fender.

Some of them have drainage around the joints and small holes at the bottom for drainage. Mine is more passive, but the front facing scoops act like air rams which might help your air delivery when driving - two might be even better

Who makes those? I was having trouble finding one that would work for a 4” air intake, or even a 55. The idea of having air rammed in makes me happy.
Two would be a bit much, visually. I am struggling with one.

From what I remember it is a clean flow to the front fender. What baffles are you referring to?

 

[YukonCruisers]

I bought mine of ebay i think years ago, it's a 70 series snorkle that required a bit of heat and bending along the fender to fit, not a lot, but some shaping - the top on mine is the hat shape as opposed to ram, but they are easily swapped.. old pic, but you can see the ripple on the top back as i was shaping/fitting:

 

[xtiaan2000]

Ah yes, forgot about using the heat to make things work!

I know someone on here found a K&N filter that fit in the opening

 

[xtiaan2000]

Yes, I have built a bracket for filter based on that idea, but that is for the inside cabin vents.
Super cool idea on their part. Can’t remember who but, thanks again.

 

[xtiaan2000]

Oh….Scrapdaddy, were you referring to the water going back towards the cabin?

 

[scrapdaddy]

What baffles are you referring to?

On a 71 there are two baffles in between the upper fender. I holesawed some air holes in mine. I believe the water comes in the open vent and can run down towards the front and out. I was just thinking with a large open vent, the water might not be able to settle down and run out before going into your air intake.
