Ok. this may be a dumb question but soon I will be in the 5.0l section alot more then the 2.3 due to my future engine overhaul. Anyways I made a CCAI for my 2.3 and I was wondering where I can find a techy on a CAI or CCAI for a carbed 5.0L. Thanks...

By the way, they do exist right? I searched the forums but found no answers

I guess you could buy a carb hat used to connect a supercharger or turbo to the carb? I basically used a plain airfilter and an intake that was tall enough to stick up above the hood and installed an early fox body scoop and made it functional

I think the best approach is simply to score a factory carb cold air set up from an 85 HO. They have a great twin snorkel air cleaner with flexible hoses running to openings in the fenderwell on each side. It's one of the best cold air-carb setups around.
