In 72 they used the same dual snorkel air cleaner for the base 350 as they used for the 454.

i have a 77 with a 74 hood and cowl working setup with a 80,s air cleaner dual snok base and the over the radiator intake and the 74 top and seal....it looks like the car looking like it came that way.(in other words its not a "hot rod" look) if thats what u want...i kinda wanted a semi stock look..i also think the cowl induction was a very good set up....untill the fed got incolved.....also there is so much heat under the hood of our vetts that i think it fresh air is good....

We all know about the 82 aircleaner.It is a ram air set up with a flapper door connected to a seloniod so when you floor it it opens and you get 100 hp extra I took my flapper door off and have it put away.

This set up would be even better if we could get K&N to make a Xstream lid for our 12" filters. I ask them about it and this was there reply.
Hello,
Thank you for your interest in K&N products. I am sorry to say at this time K&N does not have anything in the works for an Xstream lid for a 12” filter
