Question Dusty engine compartment?

I drive on alot of dusty fire roads in my 87 f250 and can't keep the engine bay clean.
I've sealed up the rubber side covers above the front wheel.
Anything else I might try?

Stop driving on dusty roads....

Honestly, unless you completely block off the bottom and front(radiator) of the engine compartment and run filtered air through there, there's no way to keep the dust out.

Learn to live with it. And check your air filter frequently.
