    My home-made 3" snorkel fed plenty of air to my EFI 4.4 and now does the same to a 3.9
    Nah was just planning on single throttle body with a twin outlet air box and snorkels

    I reckon twin snorkels would slow you down more by increased air resistance than any gain from extra air flow! The 4.2 is still a small bore motor and one 3" snorkel will be fine. Just pay attention to bends and junctions, make sure they are smooth transitions.

    is there enough room to run the drivers side across inside the scuttle panel and join the pass side via a Y piece then just run to the airbox as one pipe as per normal??

    i vaguely remember hearing of someone doing it this way on an EFI setup.


    That orange 2 door on 37's has twin snorkels and efi, someone on here now owns it, maybe they have pics??

    Thanks Tim
    Tim I will post a pic of my setup on a 4L (with 3.5 EFI), my setup is 90mm because that is the size of the downpipe fittings I used, no problems with airflow, esp if using round air filter housing and plumbing in the end like I have done, Regards Frank.

    Can't go through there on a Rangie though due to wrap around bonnet, but can apply same idea.
