Cansomeone list the required parts from edelbrock bypart # and cost (including the K&N filter) . The intire requirements so those of us that are mechanically challenged can walk into Pep boys and hand them a list.
A step by step instuction would help also.

 

I'm a little behind on replying with the holidays and all, but here goes:

It really does make things simplier. Changing the filter is very easy, and getting access to things on the passenger side of the engine (where my FIPK used to take up space) is much easier. That is defiently an advantage.

 

This was one of my concerns, that is why I am waiting until after I test this out all summer before I sell my FIPK. It easily gets into the upper 90's in the summer, so I am very interested to see how this setup performs when I am sitting in stop and go traffic, and it is 98 degrees outside.

 

With my setup, the only thing preventing you from going with a taller filter is the length of the s-bolt. The top is basically just a plate with a hole in it. Once you put the s-bolt through the hole, you tighten that plate down onto the filter with the wing nut on the s-bolt.

Mine is not 14" diameter, it is actually 13". The filter that seems to fit best is 12.75" diameter. You might just have to experiement for yourself as to how big a filter you need. If your on the track, you might need the biggest filter you can find so you have lots of high rpm air available. For daily driver street use, I doubt the difference between a 14" diamter filter and a 13" diamter filter is really going to make a noticable difference, as ling as you make sure it is tall enough.

As for a drop base, I think Glidemann covered that in one of his previous posts in this thread. You should be able to fit as much as a 3" tall filter without a drop base, but it will be really tight (see Ash's post on this too).

 

I was wondering how you installed the air filter. all the filter i found have a hole in the center, and the hole in my throttle body is off set. did you have to have anything done custome?

 

you need to get an s-bolt, most likely make one yourself. I believe its 1/4-20 threaded rod

 

I just installed the Mopar Performance Assembly this evening. It looks like it has about a .25" rise in the base, which makes for a tight fit with the 2.75" tall on my truck. It would be nice to have the room to go taller if needed, but I don't think it'll be an issue for everyday driving. The Ramair site lists their assembly as a .5" drop base, so I'm assuming you can go at least that low for a base. If I get bored someday maybe I'll look for a drop base that'll fit the Mopar but for now it's good.

Thanks Silver_Dodge for the idea it looks good and really cleans up the engine bay.

 

So how do you like it so far?

 

yeah I endee up putting one on but the only one I could find was a 10" and I'm using a 3" K&N Filter and so far I'm inpressed but the weather here has been in the 30's.[&:]
I'm curious to see what it does when we get that 100 degree weather and I'm driving like I do now and that is anywhere from 1500-2000 miles in a week..
But for nowit works grat 2-3 gallons more a mile and lowto top end gains...
Now I just need3" exhaust..

 

I really don't think the heat is really going to be an issue. A whole lot of years ago (more than I want to admit) I was using these air cleaners on cars with a lot bigger engine, creating a lot more heat in a much smaller engine compartment. As for trucks I also had one on my '79f-150, my '80 Silverado, my '84 Ramcharger andmy '93 F-150,performance was never a problemon hot days.

I think with our trucks sitting farther above the pavement than a car and they also havea lot ofopen space under the hood, that there won't be a problem.
