air intake duct driverside

To All
Looking for a air intake duct for use on driver side to complete dual snorkel installation on Small Block Application, or if anyone knows if right side could be made to work.

Thanks,
Barry

I used a second snorkel/inlet duct to make a dual-snorkel air cleaner.  You'll find that there are several different snorkels, with some being longer than others and some having a different angle to them.  But the angle is due to a piece that is spot-welded to the actual snorkel.  You can drill the welds out and reposition it and then re-weld or braze it back to get the angle you want.

You can see how I did it on FTE: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1291332-dads-air-cleaner.html

Oh, I misunderstood.

On mine I was able to turn the fitting that attaches to the radiator support upside down and use it on the driver's side.  And the same hose worked fine.

LMC sells the air duct.

I had to find the radiator support adaptor (kind of rigid plastic boot) at my local salvage yard.
