Cold Air Intake

I have a 77 Mav. I am putting a 2bbl on it but was wondering if i could put a cold air intake on it. does any one have any ideas on how to do it. Oh yeah it is going on a 250 motor.

 

It came factory with a cold air duct. All you need to do is find a different air cleaner base. All I need to do is find the plastic flexable duct to hook mine back up.

 

Heres a how to article

the ebay kits are actually pretty good and cheap
Yes they're made in china but the tbird/5.0L guys have been using these for years with no problem.

Then you add a carb hat and filter(they sell them together!)

just put a hood scoop on it

 

Thanks alot that really helped out.

 

Cool stuff. Is there actually an advantage to all of this?

 

Cold air means power.
Watch out for those Jap looking cold air puddle suckers. Done a few motors that hydrauliced thanks to those nice low hung cold air intake set ups.

 

I've thought about making my grabber hood scoops functional. anybody on here done that yet?? that would be pretty cool. I want to run a scoop on top of the carb but don't want to cut a hole in my hood.

 

i asked the same Q a while back and they sed that there is not enough air flow to the scoops because they sit to low

 

Thats a nice setup if you only drive your car on nice sunny days. Hate to follow the car in front of you through a puddle and find out how many bad things start to happen.

 

Here ya go!

 

I did it to my first Mav but I dont think it was worth the work. Not much airflow through the drilled out little scoops.
If my hood wasnt opened up as it is with my Comet gt scoop I would relocate the Battery to the trunk and run ducting from the snorkel to the rad support where the battery used to be.

 

ummmmm i live in california we don't have rain?

 

Then what was all that wet stuff y'all got in the last 2 months ?

 

M ythought would be to run ducting to the radiator support and run one of those low profile dual snorkles. If I remember correct SPECTRE products (note sure of the spelling) makes a universal kit. I believe Horse Power TV did one on there show a while back. It was on a Monte Carlo, would not be hard to find just look up Power Block TV. or Spike TV and look thru the list of previous shows.
