I just watched the episode of engine masters…
It was interesting how there was this big jump going on between 350 hp supporting air filters and then went straight up to 600hp…
to translate it onto my application, or as a matter fact, any Pantera that has the original 351 Cleveland you can bolt on anything they showed! my car being a 10/1972 build year (probably low compression 280 some hp on a good winter day in 1972 ) Unmodified best to my knowledge but with a Holley on it, I would be very (VERY) surprised if I still hit 300 horse..
the best comparison is probably the dual snorkel Dodge air filter…. Both intakes equal approximately 12 in.² which is about what I have with 4 inch diameter pipe… I think I’m golden up to 350 horse and I do not have to deal with the intake noise.
building this air filter arrangement is not a very big undertaking and if it’s crap, I hang it on the wall and think of something else!
Once I’m gonna build an engine for it I might go a different route or an upgraded route more likely…🤔 (a redo of the deck lid over the air cleaner will be necessary)
