Aircleaners!

[LMDGUY]

Ok guys and gals , let see your aircleaners! I wana do a aircleaner like Dale Jr's car that pulls cold air from the cowl. DSE has some really detailed pics on ther website. Just wondering if anybody else has done or built a unit like this? Let see them.

Here's a page from the Lefthander catalog with a fiberglass or carbon airbox that's kinda cool...

don't the big circles punched into that air cleaner (Dale's) kind of negate the whole cold air thing?

that is common thought.

67 Z28s had a similar option available. I do no think they are repopped.

it doesn't look like it's functional...

That is exactly what I said when I first saw it. Maybe it is lined with some clear acrylic or something. If not, why bother.

It's Bling-a-licous

It's not functional to pull in cool air from the cowl area, but is forced to use the hotter air from the engine bay.

I thought this one was very nice!

Jeff Trush 69 Camaro..worked for him.

i guess you need to specify what function you want it to perform... ;)

It's very nice, but the shape of the DSE car’s assembly is more pleasant to the eye (at least mine). I guess because the one is a nice smooth curve versus a more abrupt flare out. Might just be me.

For sure the DSE looks much better, maybe just copy it but make it funtional.

DSE did the one on Trush's Camaro when they were still in MI.

What the? Why? Of course that's just my opinion.

that one is, yes... but I posted it to give ideas...

This air cleaner looks really cool but it obviously is just for looks. I vaguely remember the guys at Campbell Auto Restoration made a reproduction of an original Camaro cowl induction air cleaner. I may be way off base. Maybe it was a real one they had laying around.
