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 rounded up some (from memory) FJ62 air filter housings, which use the large circular air filter and are fairly water resistant. From memory I have two of those (not sure I have all the parts) but I'll post pics in a follow on. These are suppose to be a bolt on as for as mounting to the passenger side fender well.
I don't care If I need to chop off the end of the metal air tube that feeds the engine from the air filter housing.
in summary , I want to use a FJ62 type air filter housing (and air filter) , and plumb that clean to my 5.7 vortec engine.
Who has pics / notes, known solutions ?
I'm screwing around with other things and now is the time to deal with the air filter. I'll post up some pics of the air filter housings I've acquired and those may be obvious to others what model trucks they are from.
looking for what works...(tubing, silicon tube or adapters, metal pipe...etc, what it takes to have a clean setup). I'll also post a pic of the engine .
Again my engine is a 5.7 vortec not a 5.3 or 6.0. There may be some similarity....anyway
I think some people have even modified the lid of a FJ62 air filter housing, or maybe other model trucks the air filter housinigl lid might work on teh FJ62 anyway...I'm screwing around with some wiring projects and he air filer project needs to get done so I can get other stuff done and not take anything apart twice or whatever....want to be done.
thanks
Thanks....
