Here is a pic of the m35a3 intake installed. Just remove the old intake filter housing and cut the access door shorter. Buy adapters, elbow, 45, some clamps and a piece of aluminum pipe.

Thanks Shawn for showing me your install of the filter housing. Where did you get the 5" to 4" adapter ? I'm still cleaning mine up. There was a bit of rust inside I'm trying to remove with "Rust Remover" . It is taking a little longer then expected.

Wished I had known that before spending $100.00 on the housing and now needing to spend almost $100.00 for the filter.

What does the A3 setup have over the original A2 air box? Easier filter access?

A lot more CFM of air is the main thing. It moves the filter housing from the engine bay and gives you more room to work on the engine. It make less noise because of it location outside of the engine bay. It takes in air about two feet higher than the stock cleaner and has turbulators to drop the dust from the air and has a purge system when used with the a3 muffler. It is easy to install, almost bolt on.

Some times you have to bite the bullet and buy the new one. It is a set back. It is less work as well.

The Cat in a m35 a3 requires 450 CFM for the intake. So my best guess would be that A3 filter housing is capable of 550 to 600 CFM.

From what I discovered about the air-filter it's 583 CFM. Good guess Shawn !

I haven't finished the exhaust part yet. I just have a cap on the filter housing for now. To many projects going on, and too old to finish them all !
Truth be told, I forgot about finishing the exhaust clean-out part of the filter. Now that my shop is almost finished I should fab-up a tube and weld it to the muffler.

Cool. I just wanted others to know. It is a simple mod with available parts. It looks good and it is clean. Most just scab some crap on there and it looks like crap.

Information is hard to find on this site, you really need to look. But we are here to help the young guys more forward and do it correctly.
I do thank you for your help in the past. This is a team effort. I am still working on my truck too. LOL
My brother calls it the brand new 1971 M35A2. lol
I did convert my engine to a LDS. But my trucks engine was put in new in 1989 so it is the best one. I have a post on how i did the mods. It is not cheap. I should put a 5.9 in it.LOL

If I had the money, I would put a DuraMax L5P with Allison transmission in mine. 500 HP with almost 500 Ibs of torque would make my Deuce sit-up and dance !
Last time I checked though a DuraMax LML (not a L5P) cost over $8,000.00 used !
