I got a duel filter element (2 into one) from Turbo City/Rock-It?? a few years ago for my 98 Dodge 1500 4x4 gas 360.

If I remember right I always thought the intake would of worked on a reg 2 or 4 bbl carb, or maybe with a little carb spacer help/mod??

It had 1 big 4" or 5" filter on each end....sat right on top of the throttle body.

Wait one got it....

Dual Air Tube Intake
Dodge & Jeep 3.9, 5.2 & 5.9 $159.95
560-110

ROCK-IT DUAL air tube for DODGE/JEEP applications. Unique design places filters above the valve covers, and a low profile design clears most hoods. This intake assembly provides much more air intake area at the throttle body removing the restrictive stock plastic piece. Made from cast aluminum and wrinkle powder coated black for durable good looks. Includes hardware when required. Requires [2] filters with 2 3/4" inlets to complete the installation. When ordering specify JEEP or DODGE to insure the correct hardware.

Recommended Accessories (requires 2):
550-457 Air Filter
550-458 Air Filter

The 1982 - 1985 Ford Mustangs used a thermostatic dual snorkel intake assembly from the factory:



The 1982 version fits a Motorcraft 2150 2V carburetor, while the 1983 - 1985 version fits a Motorcraft/Holley 4180 4V carburetor.

A lift has absolutely nothing to do with the air cleaner.

What carburetor do you have on your engine?

C'mon dude....Can you not deduce by the pictures and the links provided that they fit on a carb??? Did you even visit Spectre's website??

We provided you the resource so have some skin in the game by doing your own homework. .. and posting your question here doesn't count. --rant over--

A nice set of Jegs stickers will give you 5hp depending on your other current mods.

Yes. Just like I have seen with some Mustangs. If you have a V6 Stang and you replace the emblems with Cobra emblems, you got yourself a Cobra.
