This thread makes me happy my car has little value to anyone but me. Having a somewhat rare actual legit musclecar like some of you fellas almost seems like a curse. I'm running an early 70s dual snorkel off a 400 on my 318. Air cleaner is bigger than the engine but the price was right being that I already had it.
Is it wrong for a original show car, yes. Is it wrong for your everyday ride, no. Is it wrong not to have an air cleaner of any kind, yes. This is the best way I can explain it.
