Dual Quad Air Cleaner Assembly Ever Made For 440? - 03/06/13 05:08 PM
(edit....For a stock appearance)
Making a base plate is probably what I'll end up doing, but I was wondering if Chrysler or another company ever made an air cleaner base & lid for a dual quad set up? I have an aluminum Offenhauser intake for the 440 I want to use, but would like to have just one larger air cleaner base & lid instead of two smaller ones. I always liked the chrome Hemi one & thought I'd like to duplicate that somehow.
Does anyone remember if something like this existed, even back in the late 60's or 70's?

The difficulty is going to be on the distance between the two carbs. Even the Street Hemi and 413 inline manifolds had different spacing. If you get lucky and the spacing is that same on your manifold and the hemi you'll be good to go OR you could get the hemi air cleaner and modify the base by moving one opening.

1962 383 RB had dual quads from factory, dont remember what type air cleaner they had might be worth a look

No factory dual quad 440s, there s a member (Steve
paint it black?) that makes custom fiberglass baseplates similar to the '69-'71 oval fresh air-air clewaners.

I bought mine off Steve (PaintItBlack) as already mentioned...the problem was the spacing...Nothing too troublesome. I cut out the center openings and reset them to where I needed to be in the engine bay between my wiper motor and my MSD ignition...Little 'glass work and it looks fantastic...Before and after shots below

Thanks for the replies.
Looks like it's what I had thought, nothing available except for the older, expensive ones that probably won't fit anyway.

That's pretty cool & looks like what I'll be leaning towards so I'll have to contact him, thanks. And I just bookmarked his page, too.

Only 4? Hope you're not driving it much!
The boxes mine came in are far more modern.

I dunno...I like my Carters....I like to get in my car and GO!...I dont want to sit there and wonder why my engine is running rich because the power valve on my holley decided to let go because of a backfire. I been there...New Holley....left me in a parking lot...Will never go back to that setup. Only time I touch my carb's are to change the metering rods, and jets to acclimate to warmer weather or colder weather. One and done.
I agree on the wiring though....gotta clean that up...hide as much as you can
