I am building a 347 and want to upgrade my maf system to a 90mm Lightning maf. Is there a cold air kit out there that I can buy? Or is this something custom that has to be pieced together? Not finding much info at all on this setup. Thanks.

I'm putting a LMAF in...couldn't find a CAI for it. I think Anderson has a PowerPipe that may work...but they're kinda pricey, nice piece however.

I'm doing the Fox t-body (75mm) swap with it, here's what I'm going to use;
4 inch od/90 degree elbow
4 to 3 inch step down coupler, Intake Hoses, IntakeTubing, and Intake Clamps
and
90mm maf adapter and...
a KnN filter from summit

4 inch is overkill...its huge...and it won't be a traditional CAI as the filter will not be in the fenderwell....but works for me. I got some 4inch PVC also, may use it to lengthen it and run another 90 elbow off to the fender...but again, we'll see after it all goes together.

No pics as it isn't installed yet...just sitting on the bench waiting

You could get some assorted hardware from someplace like Lowe's and make one for about $20.

Thanks. Was hoping to find a conversion kit as it sure does seem like a popular setup. Not real keen on using plastic pvc pipe, would rather have something that looks professional. But we'll see what happens after I get the engine in the car. Right now I have a real nice C&L kit that is 70mm. But I am gonna be pushing 450 - 500hp in this new engine and it's gonna need to breath.

I have the Anderson n/a power pipe, it's 4" and goes into the fender. I like it a lot, but IIRC it ran me $230. There's a guy selling a used one for $125 on corral classifieds right now though, in the Windsor engine parts section.

dang venom, that thing had all kinds of bends... all that is bound to slow down the air flow.

here's mine. i made it as straight a shot as possible. it is made out of PVC and a couple of couplers from home depot

Order some 4'' mandrel bend. that is a tad bigger then 90mm a J or u bend should be enough to make an intake... then just get to cutting and welding...




Filter should be sitting about here:




Im only going to a 70mm maf but would like to be able to step up to a lightning eventually.

Just finished up the hole today for the intake like blackvert i lined it with silicone vac hose.

Thanks Venom, Adam. Adam - where did you put the MAF at? Is that what I see at the end with the air filter hooked to it outside the fenderwell?

Blackvert - Great idea with the pvc. I might just do this as it is very simple and looks like it works well. Thanks.

If you want something that looks good, just use your C&L or get a PMAS with a standard Mac cold air. 500rwhp isn't even close to outflowing a 70mm MAF.

Click to expand...

Yea im gonna try to keep it in the fender directly off the filter. So i figure there its not after a bend or anything... Ill see how it goes for tuning. If i have to move it to the bay so be it im not gonna weld together the 2 pipes just yet incase this is the case.
