One would be good, two even better. Anyone have a pair they want to get rid of?

Go to your local friendly exhaust shop and get them to bend up a couple of lengths of 3" pipe and Bobs your auntie ! Then go and by 2 rams and some flexy hose to plumb it up.

I will if I cant find some pretty black ones

Post by **landy_man** » Mon Mar 15, 2004 4:44 pm

can of black spary - $1.98 at Bunnings
couple of meters black exhaust pipe - $30 MAX
2 rams from a wrecker - $ ????

Has to be cheaper than 2 X 2nd hand RS snorkels

Have to agree here. Cost bugger all to have them made up and cheaper than the fiberglass units, even second hand.

Another job added to the'to do' list :!:

The rams are just the head on top of the actual snorkel pipe. It is the thing right at the top of the windscreen which lets air flow right down the throat!!!

I have a chec with a quadrajet so I am making custom air cleaner box to suit.

Can anyone post some pics for me of the thee snorkle comes thru the top cowling. Does it run down the inner guard or thru the fire wall?

Interested in your air cleaner box as at the moment I have a holley and need to figure out the snorkle thing as well

May seem like a stupid Q but I can't get my Rangie thru any water deep enough to go close to justifying a snorkel. Is it just the 4.4 donks that hate water or are you guys doing other things as well to waterproof them :shock:

Post by **Rangee** » Mon Mar 22, 2004 8:04 am

So what are you saying DQ, is your RR a little bit limp wristed... doesnt like to get its blouse wet ... ....
does it lift its skirt when i goes in the mud ???? lol.... ok sory .. couldnt resist that on a monday morning... if you put a solid bash plate on te bottom it will help keep the water from gushing up and under and a decent bull bar .. will also help...
keep you speed constant .....
the Snorkel is not just for river crossings, it is to allow cool clean ( dust free, or dust less) air to enter the engine... and in river crossings it is insurance to make sure no water enters ... and mine is a constant 3 inches right through ... no little 55 mm horn to suck air through, and not hot air from the engine bay ...
does make a good difference when you have made other mods to the engine ......
Cheers

I've had to remove theTGM bar to stop overheating issues (and it was alloy, to much flex).

As far as "blouse" goes...........yep.........the truck and me are both big females (sorry gals) when it comes to water crossings. The most I've ever put the truck thru was when the floor carpet was about 2" under water :shock:

(water comes in pretty quick). not sure how deep that is.

I think u might wanna check for rust holes in your floor ... i have to replace my floor pans .. really bad rust ...
so what your saying is your engine was ok under water, just your car leaked like a seive, check the holes in the fire wall where the electrics go through, if you are done wiring stuff up .. fill it with a silicon type filler.. around the wires.. will keep some engine bay heat out as well ..
then try the water again .... or you could use a hose and check for leaks ..
cheers

It's a 76 2 door so the water comes in from badly fitting doors :shock:

That water Xing was done at a crawl (1st low just above idle) Bonnet vents don't allow for a bubble to form under the bonnet. The main problem is water hitting the coil/leads etc. I've been meaning to get the wife tuppaware out to fix most of the problem. The Leyland motors have a bad rep for water (so I've heard).

No probs with rust in the floor yet :shock:
