I tend to agree with the statement made by "express". It is likely just something made up by someone who had the time and capabilities to do it. My contact at Fram in Canada where all the Chrysler air cleaners where manufactured, and who worked in the hobby shop design area, told me they never had a need to have anything aluminum like that in house. Everything including prototypes was steel as per design blueprint. Also I doubt it's a marine air cleaner......here's a real deal metal marine 440-6 air cleaner. Anyone else one have one of these?
Does your contact at Fram know anything about the painting of the air cleaners, especially the wrinkle ones? My contact from Chrysler said that Canadian Fram did the whole thing.
