Engine pictures

[CM360]

Pulled out a 318 4 bbl California motor from my '80 Aspen. When I was detailing the engine bay I noticed that there is ducting that picks up air from the drive front fender area. There was no ducting or air filter set up on this car. Does anyone have a factory picture or a picture from your factory correct F body? Thinking that there may be some HP to be had from this area. Thanks

Mine has the hole on the driver's side inner fender behind the battery.

There is a flat flange and it has a hard tube coming off at a 45 degree towards the air cleaner. My profile pic has it. It is flex duct from the 45 to the air cleaner.

I put duals on mine and tried to make it look factory down to the flanged hole in the rad. support. It's in the Modoba thread in projects and restorations.

My Volare is bone stock but it's a slant
If that works for you I can snap some pics.
