I have Dual sidedrafts on my '81 and would love to hook up some sort of snorkel system but haven't seen anything that would even come close to working. I mostly need a system to get away from the carbs and do some sort of home spun snorkel. Need to put some sort of air filter in there too.
Anybody got ideas/experience?
Thanks

totally a bro
We can't give you ideas if we can't see what you're working with. Post up a pic.
Yeah, guess that would help. Will try to make that happen soon.
Until then. Main issue is that I only have about 2.5" -3" off the end of the carbs to squeese something in there. Have built a home spun piece of junk to raise the air filters some, but still worry about sucking H2O one of these days. Did some searching on here and haven't seen anyone do anything with dcoe's so I threw the question out there.

You will have to design and build your own. When I raced my truck I had an 18RG with twin Mikunis on and since the motor was prepared by TRD I had the same air cleaner system as the Toyota factory team. The side drafts had special sweeping elbow tube adapters mounted to each carb barrel then a boxed air cleaner on top of the tubes. The tubes had gaskets on the carb ends and at the air box. If you build something like this you could adapt a snorkel to the air box.

Got that airbox laying around and wanna part with it? Probably wouldn't work with webbers anway, but that's baisically what I'm talking about. Want to hear what people have done (do you have a pic of that setup you could post?) and try to get ideas of how to go about building it.

Sorry, I do not have the air box / tube assembly or photos of them any more; that was a lot of years ago. It would work with Webers or Mikunis providing they were close sized-44 MM Mikunis or 45MM Webers.
Yeah, figures, I have 45mm DCOE's. Thanks though. Would really like to use something manufactured rather than something I "duct tape and bailing wire" together, but I haven't ever found anything that would work for a starting point even. Good to know something used to exist.
