I have a 302 with the stock intake tube and a K&N filter. After reading all of this you all are saying that for better MPGs it would be best to put a I6/460 air tube on it with a paper filter such as Purolator? And if this is the case, how long does it take to replace the 302 intake tube with the 460's?

The drop in K&N will give more horsepower than a paper filter. But some people think that the K&N doesnt filter as well.

I didn't think this pulled air from the grill opening, I thought it pulled air from the left side of the grill behind the headlight.

Check your rig, opening is alongside rad. just slightly obscured by the grille..........but pulling fresh, cold air MUCH better than a stock 302/351 intake and far better than some bogus CAI stuck inside the engine compartment

How bout a 16 year old? Haha, I know a decent bit about engines. Sounds like the hardest part is finding the tube!

Yes, walking around the wrecking yard is far more work.............but you never know what other treasures you may find while there.

It shouldn't matter what year, correct? Just a 460? Anywhere from '70 to '90 somethin should be the same, correct?
