71 Dart air cleaner options

[dartswinger71318]

I'm looking options for my 71 Dart 318/4 bbl with dual scoops and fresh air holes in the hood. Does anyone have pics of their setup or suggestions so I can make the scoops operational. I'm currently using an air cleaner from a 360 I had.

Looking for air cleaner options to keep original appearance and the scoops functional. Not sure what the original 340 car came with.

.... Thank you, I think the 340 air cleaner with the fresh air openings is what I'm going to attempt to find.

Amen to that- great looking
but those scoops are for looks
airflow goes over the top

Huh ?
The 340 air cleaner and hood scoops are fully functional.
Air goes into the scoops, and into the 2 openings of the air cleaner.
Not sure where you came up with this ?

The only problem, is this particular air cleaner has gotten very expensive. Good luck with your search.

I think what he means is aerodynamically they are horribley inefficient. Functional yes, good no. They are too close to the body and in the boundary layer. Not much high velocity air there. It is pulling cooler air.

i know you asked for "stock looking" options, but what about this option?

grab one of these intakes, add some pipe, and a few intercooler elbows

use the pipe to get the elbow right below the scoops, and turn the elbows up to seal against the hood and BAM...ram air intake

or pick up air from the plenum at the base of the windshield like Smokey and the Z-11 chevy did
or from the grille area with some heater duct 4 headlights- take out the high beams but...
those stock airscoops were quickly replaced with the high scoops and the F1 style- they do give cool air and lots of water when it rains
around town in is not going to make any ram air difference but cool air is good
I'm not suggesting you butcher that beautiful car

Easiest way to replicate it is get a dual snorkel air cleaner, remove both snorkels and invert the lip on the air cleaner base, thats what my dad did with the air cleaner for mine. The originals are worth a fortune if you can find one

Awesome car and great color choice!
