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.

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

i plan on running a snorkel out of each side of air intake to get as much air posible to the v8

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

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.
