[FC] 140HP aircleaners for FC?

[Ken Hand]

This type of set up has been done many times on FC's and wagons. Neither vehicle is a speed demon nor do people generally run them to their potential so the air flow, while important, isn't a big issue here.

Tim,

 

It's worth asking the question about air flow in this setup. You have a 
potential counterflow because of the firing order that you would not experience 
with the stock 140 setup. It would be interesting if anyone has tested this to 
see what effect it might have and at what RPM. It may not matter much, just 
asking.

That project used 110hp tubes cut , and bent to weld on stock tops , which "kind 
of works" ,but I may just do a cut up version of 4 covers. This project is 
harder than it looks to make look decent.
I was looking for a real crafty different way , but no rush yet. Had an idea 
from street rodder guy this afternoon that is radical , but may just work. I 
will report on my progress later. Back burner for now.
Thanks for the input .
Regards , Tim Colson
