13in Dia Air Cleaner Kit Chrome

The Ford 13-inch Diameter Air Cleaner Kit in chrome is a premium intake assembly designed for engine builders and performance enthusiasts who demand factory-backed quality with custom aesthetics. This round-style air cleaner features a 2.625-inch filter element and a 5-1/8-inch carburetor flange with dropped base configuration, making it compatible with a wide range of Ford Racing applications and street-performance builds. The polished chrome finish and Ford Racing logo stamping deliver visual impact while the steel construction ensures durability under sustained operation.

The 13-inch diameter form factor provides optimal filtration surface area for naturally aspirated engines, while the dropped base design positions the intake higher on the carb flange, clearing hood lines on vehicles with space constraints. The 2.625-inch element depth strikes the balance between high flow and element longevity—larger than compact aftermarket units but engineered for street duty rather than extreme racing where frequent element changes are expected. The 5-1/8-inch flange diameter is a Ford Racing standard, ensuring compatibility with their carburetor lineup and common rebuild cores found in performance machine shops.

This kit appeals to restorers building period-correct Ford performance engines, hot rod builders prioritizing factory-branded components, and engine shops stocking OEM-quality assemblies for customer builds. The chrome finish requires standard maintenance—occasional cleaning to prevent corrosion in humid climates—but delivers the polished aesthetic expected in show-quality engine bays. Weighing 4.49 pounds, the assembly integrates easily into custom intake manifold setups where appearance matters as much as function.
