I was working on an 86 dodge 4x4 today with a 360. The motor has a quadrajet carberator stock, and comes with a dual snorkel air cleaner. Air cleaner seems to be low profile and the snorkels are large rectangular units. Beings it was on a customers rig, and i didnt have my formula at work, I couldnt test fit it. But it looks like it could be an alternative to the l69 air cleaners.

Just something to keep an eye out for on junkyard runs. If I get a chance I'll test it, but dont forsee that happening.

 

Take a look on Ebay, see if you can find a pic of a similar one. If you do, post it, so we know what to look for

 

Corvettes also had a dual snorkel back when, but it did require some modification to work properly on a third gen.

 

The late '70s used the same base as the L69, bit different lid.

Early ones (think LT-1) were different. They were dual snorkel, but with smaller snorkels. They look like they aren't too small though, so they should breathe fine. They also fit on a DP-style carb and hold a 14" filter too IIRC. They were also used on the Z-28 with the LT-1 motor.

 

One thing to watch out for is HEI clearance. If you have a large cap HEI, a lot of air cleaners don't have the dimple required to clear it.

 

this place may have an answer for your parts search.

they also have the snorkles for the passenger side they fab from fiberglass for approx $40.00. Stock hoses too! Making my order soon!

 

Yes, we know about them.

This thread was about possible junkyard resources we may not have considered previously.

 

Never thought of that... good call Five7

 

don't know how you guys would feel about it but a mustang 5.0 air cleaner from 83 to 85 is a dual snorkle type. it'll fit on a holley cause i beleive they came with 1. i bought a used one and they do work although i wish the filter was larger

 

They must not be using them anymore for a reason...
