I am looking for an air intake for my '88 F250, I like the KandN gen. II with the cold air box and large 360 filter, but I am told it's not available for my truck. Does anyone know where to get one or what would be better/equivalent. (fule injected 351)

 

The problem is that you have TWO intake tubes. The only way to get a CAI is to build it.

 

hey check out summitracing, they sell a k&n intake for my 89 with a 351 they may have one for yours as for the two intake tubes they have two inlets that go into one pipe to eliminate the two tubes. give summit a look before building your own

 

I found the KandN filter, but it does not include a new tube or a cold air box, and it's expensive $210-$270, which seems to be a lot for what you get. Any other ideas. Thanks

 

it must be because yours is a f-250 the f-150 may work for your though

 

uhm, OK.

there are 2 K&N intakes that will fit your truck.

the first is the simple filter on the end of your stock tubes that you already mentioned. although pricey, this is a nice unit thaqt is CARB legal (a nice plus if you live in CA or any other green state). i've had this intake on a 90 300, an 89 302, and an 89 351 with great results and no issues whatsoever.

now, K&N does make another intake for you truck that actually replaces the whole intake back to the throttle body. i have yet to see it in person, but have seen it on ebay and know it DOES exist. i'd suggest heading to ebay and searching around, or possibly K&N's website? now, what i've heard of this kit is that it doesn't fit too wel and leaves the filter in an odd location. again, i've only heard it. never seen it for myself.

here's the thing. your truck is speed density, so the gains from an intake are gonna be minimal. would having a legit cold air intake that replaced all the tubing and moves the filter location to a section where colder air travels help? sure, but not so much that i'd think you'd notice. also, a lot of intakes tend to put the filter lower than you normally would. on a truck, that's not necessarily a good thing. you never know what you may snag it on or when you may need to ford some water. now you're talking hydrolock.

if i were you, i'd either go with the first kit or do as pfogle suggests and make your own. a little R&D time and some sitting with a K&N catalog should net you the same result. buy two smaller intake cones, slap 'em on the end of your intake tubes with some sort of adapter and call it a day. i prefer the former because i live in CA and like it to be CARB legal, but that's just me.

Hope this helps,

Mike

 

here ya go. here's the K&N product info link for the 2nd intake i was talking about:

http://www.knfilters.com/search/prod...x?Prod=57-2542

well, OK, that WOULD be the link for it, but something about how this site does hyperlinks doesn't take me to the right spot.

The product number is 57-2542. Do a search on www.knnfilters.com and you'll see it.

will fit any Speed density small block V8.

Thanks that's what I want, and it's actually not much more expensive.
