1968 Air Cleaner BBC

Looking for a 68 Big Block air cleaner for my 67 conversion.
I'm Going for stock look on the conversion.

Big blocks have shorter snout, larger area on inlet of snout.
At least on cars they do.

Yup, look like my pic. I'd like one of those dual snorkel jobs but can't quite skin my wallet for it. Are you going to also install the tin for the exhaust manifold and heat tube?

Yep, would have to buy heat shield. In Ohio need in Winter time.

Next will be oem valve covers I bought. But, these later models don't leak....

Re: 1968 Air Cleaner BBC

The air cleaner housing on my 68 396, has no warm air tube, or any way to connect one. It also does NOT have the vacuum pod on the snorkel. It's just a plain single snorkel air cleaner housing. In fact it's smaller than the link pictured, 71/72 unit. You'd think it would be fairly big............unless mine is incorrect.

I've never seen a 68 unit for sale, here. I'd like to find one I could afford, mine is a little rough...

Re: 1968 Air Cleaner BBC

Likely a unit from a year previous, before that heat tube was used. A smaller inlet size may mean that it was on a SBC. Then again, it could be a Federal emissions setup, Vs California emissions. That's long enough ago that I've forgotten the differences, even though I was an emissions tech in the '70s and '80s.
