My plan is to go right through the top of the fender into a box that i will weld onto the inside of the fender. I will then duct it right into the carb. Thats the plan anyway. :D

Are you using the air cleaner that came with the engine? Whatever you do, take lots of pictures.

Here is the snorkel that we are going to use. Thats my Patrol, i couldnt put it on the truck to take a pic because its all apart. Looks like it will fit nicely, but i would rather it be taller. Im going to try and use some black PVC pipe to raise the snorkel inlet so it will be level with the top of the windshield frame.

I have been working on the snorkel. I needed to raise the height of it so i went to my best friends house to find some material, because his father (Norvel) has always salvaged things and i knew he would have something. I found this tube, it measures 3" outside diameter and 2 7/8" inside diameter. PERFECT! I took the top off the snorkel and took a dremel tool to the inside (it needed to be slightly bigger) for the tube to to slide up and down. The tube itself slid perfectly over the bottom piece, all i had to do is glue it on with some ultra black silicone.The only thing left to do is weld a bracket to the tube so i can bolt it to the side of the windshield frame. Tomorrow im hitting the salvage yard in search of a small plastic air cleaner box (Probably out of a small compact car) that will fit inside the fender right below the snorkel. I will g)ue this box together permently and bolt it to the inside of the fender, this way the snorkel will bolt directly through the fender to the box.
