I need air cleaner ideas....

for my blown big block chevy.
I haven't found anything that I like.
Show me yours for ideas/inspiration

 

here are three of mine. perhaps these will offer some insight

 

i'd do a hilborn scoop

 

just for the fun of it. a toilet seat cover.

 

I like the old Hellings style, I think these are
reboped by SoCal.

 

Check out this thread:

Awesome stuff, man.

Here's just some of what's on that thread:

A guy I know uses aluminum sauce pans (handles removed) and a base of some sort. They look very similar to the hellings pictured.

His engine was one of the pics in the last Hot Rod Deluxe from the HAMB drags. It's a double 4 barrel Olds Rocket motor in a white engine bay.

 

Here is the ones I used on my coupe!

 

Oh another Air Cleaner post ....

 

That's a "****ty" idea.
I like this one.

 

Well just don't follow the crowd with hubcaps, wheelcovers, headlamps, saucepans(which I gotta admit is better than this other ****), brakedrums(?), washtubs, huge pro-stock fibergl*** anything (snorkels, ****els, dinkles, etc). Why not just wrap the whole engine in a form-fitted body-colored and pinstriped sheet metal jacket like all the guys?

OR, use aircleaners.

 

Here are a couple of different ones.

 

this will be on my bbc until going injected. '59 gauge pod aft for a fuel gauge.

 

how about a pair of stacks

 

Something simple like this could look clean on the Dog Bros... and easy to make.

 

I like the ones that are like these, but a little bit larger and wider.

 

kinda reminds me of the scoop on the Mad Max car

 

I just threw-up a little.

 

You just can't beat these little dudes. They're cean and simple and don't draw the eye away from the hardware. The little football shaped ones off a late 50's Golden Fury are cool too but pricey. Of course you could always go with a cow skull

 

how about chromed cow bells?i could use more cow bell.

 

There is a guy on E-Bay that hand makes these 60s style scoops for single or dual carbs. Here is mine that is painted the same color as my Coupe. I am trying to find someone local to put a nice "rat fink" character on top of it. These things are SUPER quality and ready to sand, prime, paint ! The 6 inch aircleaners fit inside of it. Just go to ebay and type in G***er scoop or surfer scoop. He has a link to "you tube" showing him make them--really neat !

 

*****in products sell a "mini caddy" cleaner I have my eye on...
Its about 3/4 the size of an original one.

BTW its cast, not billet.

 

You can't beat the Greer Black and Prudohhme het.
Here's one a guy made. Not the way I would do it. This one needs a bead down the center.
