i wanna buy a cold air intake without killing my wallet.. soo i found this on ebay and wondering if its just as good as the k&n and the other brands?? 1991 f150 302 FORD F150 5.0 5.0L 5.8 5.8L V8 AIR INTAKE 88-95 BLUE | eBay

 

That will be a HOT air intake since it is pulling HOT air from under the hood...

 

Just as White 97xlt put it. Unless you can place an air tube in an area that is consistently cooler than the ambient air under the hood, you have really only skinnied your wallet. I just posted on another topic about CAI's, and you would be better off finding a used snorkel from either a 300, I6 or a 460, V8. Either one of these will do.

 

CRAP, Not worth the $$$

 

I think it was Lee that proved the temps in the air box area are the same as out side the engine compartment when the vehicle was traveling. Hot air / cold air blah blah blah. Hot air is better for MPG anyways.

Are you looking to make dyno pulls with this truck or drive it? Id be more concerned with the quality of the filter itself (micron rating).

 

Lol im just looking to drive it ..........and my airbox right now is facing the engine soo isnt it pulling in hot air anyway?

 

At idle it is yes. Once the truck is moving the "warm air" in that area is same as outside the truck.

 

soo i was gonna order this set up and when i get more money i found K&N universal filters for $39.....do i need a heat shield with this set up ?

 

Get a splitter from a MAF truck then run single tube to good location with a big(10-12") open filter.

Believe it or not alot of lightning guys actually got the best results with a filter clamped directly to the TB.

I run a 3" tube next to the radiator with a 11" filter.

 

NIce pic... This set up never gets wet ? looks a lil close to the open part of that inner fender wall. Could just be the pic angle...

 

460/I6 tube is what you need "If you can find one"

 

Simple green that engine bay buddy !!!

 

Nope. I drive in the rain alot and its never been wet.

 

I know it.. its nasty.. if it would stop raining i could clean it up..

 

i woudlnt spend any money on the 302. thats just me.
