Air box

Post by playtime 4x4 »

Yes chev do have a factory air box and so do holden that can be easily modded to accept a snorkel. Chase through the importers for a 14x4'' air box, from either chev petrol or 350 Oldsmobile Diesel(chev). I run one of these with twin snorkels on a 45's cruiser. I can take pics. and send them via mobile phone if you like. Call or text 0414 394 062 and i'll get it done asap.
Cheers Dave

Why is a twin snorkel needed on a V8 when in cars they only have a single air intake?

Just curious.

The longer the intake pipe or hose the greater the drag or friction, just try reving a motor with a hose off the end of the std inlet, they starve and use heaps of extra fuel

Twin snorkles

Post by playtime 4x4 »

It comes down to the old race saying. More air+ more fuel = bigger bang. Bigger bang= MORE power. Why do you think 4-6-8 cyl. vehicles run cold air intake? . Why do turbo's run coolers? Colder ,denser air. 2 snorkles is the cheaper alternative.
