Hi' Im a new memder and had quite the idea. I was strolling through pep boys and saw a edelbrock filter called the pro flow 1000 and thought it would be a
huge improvment in flow over the stock snorkel. and it should just fall on. would it fit? who has tried it? and what do you guys think?

Not sure what you mean by snorkel. Do you have a FI engine or a carb engine? Just dropping in a K&N filter is a huge difference in flow.

LVRX7

I have a carb and by snorkel i mean the blue thing with the air filter inside.

RacerX7fb

This should solve that snorkle issue

Nice engine bay! Yours? Who makes that radiator? I didn't see a fan in there, is the fan on the opposite side instead?

LVRX7

we're kind of getting off topic even i have to admit thats an unrealisticly clean engine bay, but is that the the stock exhaust manifold i see?

Going even further off topic, it looks like a Pro7 car, and they are required to run the stock manifold.

Using a Pro Flow 1000 setup from Edelbrock would not be a direct replacement. They sell a 2bbl model which is for a 2.265" air horn, and a 4bbl model with a 5.125" air horn.. My stock Nikki breather base measures ~3.878".

I'm not saying its not possible. An appropriate spacer could be fabbed..

My opinion is to just use the stock breather, modded like the one above, with a K&N drop in element.

"How" makes aluminum radiators with same side endtanks much like that. You can order them from summit but you will have to call them. Nice pricing as well, around $200.

this is the Edelbrock Pro Flow on my old 12a.

it is not a direct fit, and I dont believe you can get a adapter.

I made a adapter with a rubber PVC coupling, t was not the best but it worked.

Its a cool looking filter and flows well, see if you can get a adapter and go for it.

Wouldn't a K&N filter (drop in) be a better investment, especially when fabricating a cold air intake?
That Edelbrock filter is still taking air right above the hot engine, and actually looks to do so even worse then the stock one, which at least has a bit of a "snorkel".

LVRX7

yeah but that won't get you any style points!

Style points don't make your car faster.

The stock air cleaner assembly is actually a very good design.

Ritch

Had one on my Cougar. Worked well enough there with one exception. The filter element isn't very fuel resistant or back fire resistant. Fuel directly on the foam will break it down. A single back fire through the carb will make you wonder where it disappeared to.

I got one on my car... But it's a GSL-SE converted to carb w/ a Holley 600cfm...

Please explain why. I need to understand. E-mail here ----> j0hnr0cks@yahoo.com

82 streetracer or mr ouija was there a noticable increase in performance after installing it?
