So i was bored and decide it was time to Make the car faster with a brand new set of Marine speed holes! After looking around and not finding what i wanted i decided to copy someone else :-D. Muddeprived from Cherokeetalk.com Had a set of Vents he put onto his XJ that turned out pretty good. So i ordered a pair and figured if anything im out $16 for the vents and finally get to put on the nice hood. extremely easy to put in, the vents reached both mid and top ribs in the hood.

The Vents only seem to stick up out of the hood about 3/4 of an inch.

After doing that i had ordered the Weber air filter adapter kit. Much cheaper then the snorkel top if you can find it. That went on with ease. Someone mentioned on the board about using a "Modified" S-10 air filter housing. i grabebd one from the yard and the only modifying i had to do was pinch the lip where it sat on the adapter so it would fully seat.

The Air filter housing comes out to a wide mouth where it has a plastic end on it going to almost a 4" round. i flipped it upside down so it would come from the back and not get in the way of anything. I would LIKE to finish the snorkel this weekend but that is only if time permits.

 

 

 

 

 

yeah yeah i know its a COMPLETE mess under the hood. thats for another day when im bored out of my mind.

hehe "speedholes". :)

 

For a long time I thought my cousin and I were the only ones that used the term.

Then I found the internet... :lol:

 

Seriously though. Those vents look to be perfectly functional and simple for those that need some ventage somewhere. :)

That's awesome. I was looking for a different housing for my carb. Is that the stock carb or a weber carb? I've been wanting to get a different air filter housing for my brat because the stock one is so shallow and has a very small air inlet. I didn't want to buy a k&n filter if I didn't think the housing would let enough air in for it to make a difference. Even without the snorkel that would act like a cold air intake just with the different housing. Great post!
