The ACL -
Is that a BIRD ACL with the front shield removed? OEM or replacement?
Beautiful detail work on the engine compartment!
The MUMMERT does not have a heat crossover so it may cause a drive-ability concern(s) in cold/humid climates.
BLUE THUNDER has the cross-over.
Lots of Fords originally used a water heated base plate under the carb.
That might help as a work around for the guys in the cold climates.
KULTULZ, it's an aftermarket air cleaner with a dropped base, as far as the intake it runs great, I usually just drive it in the summer months but lately it's been nice and sunny but only mid 40s for a high still drives like a champ.

...hmmpf ...
TRICKED ME!
Pretty though (and I ain't much on aftermarket). Who is the vendor?
It fits like a glove. The drop for hood clearance?
QuoteI forgot to mention I like the way they mount to the motor eliminating the little spacers and bolts between the runners.
I never noticed that.

You're right but the BIRD had a low hood clearance. But it is a good idea for the PASS CAR. Put a heater control valve before the inlet side of the spacer for fair weather use to allow the plenum to remain somewhat cool.
