Dual snorkel air cleaner

My L03 has the rare dual snorkel air cleaner....however, there is a slight problem.

It does NOT have the hoses that actually connect to it, therefore it does not intake any cold air. I can't find any either, so I was wondering what the best way would be to custom build my own. Problem is, creating something that would be a circle on one end of the hose and the oval/rectangleish shape where it connects to the snorkel.

I hope that makes sense....does anyone have any ideas as to what would be the easiest and best way to custom build this myself?

That intake never came stock on an LO3 car. A previous owner must have put it on. Lucky for you If you go to www.ramairbox.com they sell a whole slue of intake ducting that will mate to that aircleaner.

You can also get a hose off the "rack" at Autozone and adapt it to work like seen here.........

Yep..........what he said. I remember looking for mine 10 years ago and they at that time had the replacement ones for the L69 option. They were shorter than the ones I used as the stock unit used longer snorkals at the firewall and on the breather itself.

Re: Dual snorkel air cleaner

I just lucked up on a dual snorkel breather including the core support snorkels and a K&N filter for $110. shipped.

The whole assembly is in great shape, even the "5.0 Litre HO" decal on the lid is excellent shape as well as the vacuum hoses. But I need to find the air tubes.

Was this a good deal or not?

Re: Dual snorkel air cleaner

This is for a carburetor, will it fit a TBI?

Re: Dual snorkel air cleaner

I bought 2 new GM flex ducts not too long ago. You might try calling a few dealers, I'm sure there are a couple kicking around the country somewhere. There are 2 part numbers for left and right, but 2 of either one will work.
