Why not? Common enough for other vehicles. And, some will just like the looks.

All the best.

i believe it is a rear engine.... avanti or corvair...but since his name is avanti....im gonna say its a studabaker engine

as for the dual snorkel intake pipe, ive seen ALOT of these...mostly on imports..but ive seen them on V8s too. for some reason, people think that when you have two 3" inlet filters feeding a 2.5" tube, you get two filters worth of air...

MoparTodd:

The pix are of a couple of my toys, to simply highlight that tastes very. I thought the original post question a bit... presumptuous and simply wanted to highlight how different our tastes can be here.

I think the twin-snorkle intake looks pretty good, btw... And, not all find that it hurts performance. They are pretty common on C-5 Vettes (my daily driver) and I've seen more than one dyno-sheet supporting that they don't necessarily hurt performance.

As to "WTF...," that is a pix of my 185mph street Avanti (not rear engined), and the other I just added? My 223mph Salt Flat racer. And, yes, those are four official world speed record plaques on the cowl of the second one.

The next pix? One of my hemis...

Sweet.

One thing that wasn't said about the Ebay intake is that it's real shiney, and as we all know,

SHINEY = FAST.
