had the same idea until someone pointed out it wont have the notch in the front for the ac compressor Yeah, that's true. not sure if any other mopar air cleaners have that notch. The guys on a budget so he could not care if it's 100% correct.

They still make red ones new, but not the orange ones, which is a head scratcher. I figured they aren't making any of them now, they just made too many of the red ones to begin with so they're not sold out yet.

I have a couple old air cleaners circa 1970-73 and both are 4bbl bases, single snorkel and a duel snorkel missing the vacuum pods. I was wondering how hard would it to be to covert them into 1970-71 340 un-silenced air cleaner? I’m out of those and need one for a driver project for one of the club members, but they can’t afford buying a real one. Anyone make one or are the air cleaners too diffrent to do the conversion? Drill holes around the base outside the filter diameter. This allows the top cover to set flush and the use of a pie tin if needed. I took a different route and cut a spacer from 1/4” Masonite to fit under the filter. This provides a gap around the lid and looks real close to stock. No one has asked me about it! Ron

Why not just cut off the snorkel flush and clean up the opening? Not perfect, but sounds like it would do what you want. That's what I'm trying to figure out. I was hoping someone had experience doing it, maybe some pics they could share with everyone.

Would look the same-ish but would not let the additional air as the unsilenced does.

You may be right as some of the other types of repo pie tins are also not available any longer either.

running up my post count some more .

Was wondering about that, I sold 1 of these about 5yrs ago for $250, I guess like everything else prices have gone up. It was just a normal closed housing without the snorkles, nothing "open" about it.
