Hey guys, just wondering if theres an open element setup for carbed v6's . The carb on this thing is shaped oddly and a friend says there probably isnt one. But hey, this is the v6 forums, so you guys probably know a lil more!

Thanks

 

It's a 2 barrel carb right? So check on Ebay. Otherwise, how good are you at welding and cutting and bending sheetmetal?

 

No there is NOTHING for the factory 2SE carb. You have a E2SE carb
What ya do is go grab another air cleaner assembly & "modify it".
BUT lucky you
You have an "F" Body (I have Blazer, so I know, see below).
What ya can do is just like GM did, make a dual snorkle air inlet set up, add a K&N assembly & be done.
YOU ALWAYS WANT COLD FRESH OUTSIDE AIR NOT UNDERHOOD HOT AIR!
The engine bay of a FBODY will only be like an oven.
Go grab another same air cleaner & modify it for a dual snorkle & stick the air inlets up front on rad support and you'll be BETTER!
OR keep the factory side air inlet & stick the other newer air inlet under front bumper passenger side.
You'll know when ya succede when ya start seeing bugs on the air filter!
DON'T LAUGH AT THAT!
On my Blazer?
I keep it stock. I mearly added multiple holes in the radiator support where I pick up air.
After that work I started seeing multiple bugs on my K & N filter. AND I seriously pikced up lots of freeway passing speed, too.
My sugestion is WAY CHEAPER than a newer hood & it's scoop.
For my 3.4 powered Blazer ride, I AM going to take the spare air cleaner assembly I scored (FOR FREE) and modify as I described to you.
For CA smog, I mearly reinstall the factory unit & I'll pass easily.

Old Ford air cleaners, those air inlet scoops on air cleaners were BOLTED ON. A tip of the extra scoops to try to score. It's easy & fun
Don't destroy what ya already got.
Go get another to destroy/modify.
One day ya may need a correct factory one and yep, think it'll be easy to score it?

 

There was a guy (Ghostrider84 ?) who had an open element on his carb'ed v6.

 

Here's a good thread on how to make an open element
