Air Intake for IDI e350? Anyone have one to sell?

[warmblood58]

My new to me van ('94 e350 7.3) is missing its air intake connection to air cleaner - does anyone have this part? Thanks!

Probably going to be a hard one to find, warmblood.

Can take and send you a pic of mine. Mine is N/A, is yours N/A or turbo??

 

[warmblood58]

Yep! Mine is NA

You'll probably be best off making something. The opening on the manifold is a standard 5 1/4" (same as where a 4bbl meets the air cleaner).

Yep, thought about that . . . .

My E350 is a 90, but I managed to use an air cleaner of a 89 F250 idi. IIRC, it did require a bit of minor tweaking ie putting a dent in it to clear one of the injector lines. It does work much better than no air cleaner housing at all, which is what mine came with.

 

[idi_econoline]

Yes, it does have a dent in it, as I recall. Sorry that I didn't get it out for a pic today.

I'd never seen this piece until the van I have now. They're usually missing, I guess. But, yes, 460mudsports, the engine compartment does get very hot, and cooler air is definitely better. The piece draws air from the inner surface of the hood, where it meets the grille.

The piece is quite flat at the front and bolts to the crossmember above the radiator. It then narrows and squares up to fit the air cleaner inlet.

I can try to get a picture too. I just looked through my hundreds of pictures I have and somehow that piece has never been in a picture. I always had it off for some reason or another.

I've found it comes off for almost any work on the front of the engine, yARIC008. Nature of the beast!

Wish people would return things - my fuse box cover was missing too - I can buy it new for 95.00! dumb but I like things OEM usually -

Wonder why

Try dryer duct tubing, the foil type.

Yep, easy to make but again, looking for the stock replacement for my own reasons - thanks

Wrong part - my air intake would look nothing like pic -appears to be powerstroke type. Our idi intakes no longer available from Ford but are available from Vintage parts for 85.00! Thanks anyway - there has to be one in a wrecking yard somewhere . . .
