That king cobra front end looks just like the Datsun 260Z

[@markconley996]

Maybe Datsun saw this king cobra first!!!!

[@bryanrothe4245]

@@markconley996 I would say so since it was 1970 Ford should have Sue Datsun 😂

[@VengefulBatz]

Horrendous front end!

[@xxxftcxxx]

Yo... That air cleaner cover is sick. Good job man, I tried doing something like that on my 73 Nova with air from the bottom rectangular holes in the bumper same way you did with exhaust piping.

Howdy from France with my 455ci 1971 Riviera boattail !

[@joeschlotthauer840]

Nice....

[@BigEightiesNewWave]

France>? People must freak out there.

[@stevenm.2380]

They have a lot more to worry about with Macron for a president, a socialist government, and a skyrocketing crime rate due to certain "invaders".

[@nferraro222]

Howdy back to you, from another boattail guy!

I wish there was a channel just for budget builds. I love it!

[@m3rdpwr]

I did the same thing to my 85 Cutlass as well. It had a factory fresh air duct hose going to the front of the car, so I added the second one. I didn't have many tools back then, so I just used a metal nibbling tool I bought at radio shack for ten bucks. Took a while but the results were good.

[@m3rdpwr]

@@weedwacker1716 I did it in 1990. Built an Olds Small Block 403 based off a Dave Smith Oldsmobile (DSE) design and spec. Was a blast to drive year around. Left it computer controlled for the longest time, sent the Quadrajet to Carb Shop to have it worked. If I remember correctly, it was supposed to generate 410HP and 440lbs Torque at the crank. Eventually pushed my 3850lb Cutlass to 12.7 in the 1/4 mile. 1.58-160sec 60ft times.Used a 700R4, with a TCI BOP to Chevy adapter. I had someone do some port work to the heads, and he wrecked the heads. I miss that fricken car. That was just towards the end of 1992. I know I could have gone faster, I never got to use my 100HP shot of Nitrous on it. I converted the VHS tapes to videos. Grey with landau roof, and real chrome 14" steal wheels.

[@theopinion9452]

This is my favorite show in youtube,every time a new episode comes along I get so happy that I could bake a cake....not that I would do that but you never know.

[@pjimmbojimmbo1990]

Two snorkels that choke down to about 1 3/4 inches before widening to fit the Air Ducts. Still going to be Asthmatic My Dads 74 LeSaber with a 455 with Q-Jet, came with the same choked up Air Cleaner. In 79 I took a Cleaner Housing from a 76 Olds with a Much Larger Opening 3 1/2" X 1 1/4" on the snorkel, and added a Second the same size. Breathed much better

[@joeschlotthauer840]

Would've liked to have seen what the inside of the tank looked like with the sealer in it...

[@alconk7129]

Love the air cleaner! Rear taillights are goofy looking though.

I know this is an old build, but I'll never dig those door handles.

The air cleaner is the only mod I've actually liked so far.

Be me: Art Major Sees that paint job Instant career idea.

[@earlcousins6635]

REALLY enjoyed this one! NICE JOB!

[@Speeddemon3]

Where the hell is the video of the rebuilding of the 455?? that is the best looking air cleaners I've seen!!

[@houtanarefi3325]

you made all of those work to make a dual snorkel air cleaner that the end of the snorkels are so small and eliminate the indicators for air inlet but Century have already a type of one snorkel air cleaner that takes air from behind of the driver side indicator lamp and have special part for it!

[@73to79ford]

A dual snorkel air cleaner can easily be much better than open element air cleaners at getting cooler air from outside the engine bay into the engine in hot weather and getting heated air from the exhaust in the winter for good cold weather drive ability and prevent carburetor venturi ice up in cool damp weather.

[@danwarn5356]

I see a front lower air dam with turn signals in the future of the Buick. Ford Thunderbolts had the best dual snorkel intakes, period!

[@davidthompson245]

Genius!!, that air would look good on my wall

[@ahmedal-prince6438]

WooooooooooW 👍 goooooood

[@bigmarkdarula]

16:15 = super star

[@davidrfowler6432]

that is the true form of ram air intake

[@danielbrooks9508]

We had a 1967 Olds Toronado GT that had an air cleaner like your finished product from the factory. Just find one of those next time!

[@alexyo3927]

It made no sense to me to cut the one snorkel and weld it up then cut two extra holes with two separate snorkels. I would have just added one extra. Looks sick any how

[@sow9880]

I don't think they could find one that matched the original so they found a matching pair from other cars .

[@Ares-jx4ep]

OEM air cleaner basees have indexing tabs where they sit on the carb. The stock snorkle location was too close to the front of the base to allow a second snorkle and wouldn't have looked right anyway. By moving the location it allows the snorkles to aim very close to the front inlet and allows for a straighter and cleaner looking route for the hoses.

[@simplyfred8044]

Good catch.

[@BigEightiesNewWave]

Rochester Quadrajunk.

[@sireuchre]

Want a cheap way to make those graphics masks? Reach into the world of crafters, and find someone with a Cricut. A little time spent converting the graphics you want into a template file you can load into a Cricut, and you can cut out the graphics for smaller stuff like that pretty easily. If you've got one crafter/scrapbooker in your family, chances are they have a Cricut, or know someone that does. They're relatively cheap if you think you'll use one a lot.

[@Pgcmoore]

outstanding!!!

What are you guys doing with that Mercury Comet???

[@Ecosse57]

i've been wondering when they will upload videos on that.

What's the dyno difference between engine bay heat air vs the cold air intake?

Sparks around fuel vapor? What could possibly go wrong? 💥

[@jamesmedina946]

Cant be a pussy all your life. Ive ran torches around fuel tanks. I just cut chain link fence from my driveshaft yesterday (thanks to my 15 year old boy) with a cutting wheel on a grinder. Luckily the pump was sealed good to the tank 😂

I build cars constantly and even bargain shoping and rebuilding and restoring parts or hand fabricating stuff myself doesn't get a build completed for less than 20 grand being as stingy as possible !! Even doing the paint and body myself !
