12x2 Alum Oval Finned A/C Polished

The 12x2 Alum Oval Finned Air Cleaner Assembly by Racing Power Co-Packaged is a polished aluminum air intake component engineered for classic and custom engine builds requiring traditional oval-style air filtration. This finned oval design combines functional aesthetics with proven air-flow characteristics, offering a compact solution for carburetor-equipped engines with a 5-1/8-inch flange mounting point. The 2-inch element depth provides effective filtration surface area while maintaining low restriction, critical for engines tuned for both street and show-quality performance where intake appearance matters alongside engine efficiency.

The assembly features a 12-inch oval footprint with finned aluminum construction that dissipates intake heat while delivering a distinctive look common to vintage hot rod and classic muscle car restorations. The polished aluminum finish resists corrosion in typical automotive environments and develops a refined patina over time, making it ideal for engines where the air cleaner remains visible under the hood. The flat base design ensures stable mounting on standard carburetor flanges, and the complete kit format means all necessary components arrive ready for installation. Weighing 4.9 pounds, this assembly imposes minimal inertial load while providing structural rigidity for long-term durability under normal driving conditions.

This air cleaner suits builders and enthusiasts restoring carbureted classic vehicles, street rods, and custom engines where period-correct or retro-styled intake components enhance both form and function. The 12x2 oval geometry fits engine bays with lateral space constraints common to older vehicles while avoiding interference with hood lines or engine accessories. Racing Power Co-Packaged positions this assembly in the traditional performance and restoration market segment, offering an alternative to round or rectangular designs where oval proportions align with original equipment aesthetics or preferred custom specifications.
