8-1/2in. Chrome Air Cleaner

The Moroso 8-1/2 inch chrome air cleaner is a raised-base carburetor intake assembly engineered for street and performance applications requiring precision filtration and clean aesthetic presentation. This 8.5-inch round air cleaner kit delivers OEM-quality engine protection while maintaining the polished chrome appearance demanded by builders focused on engine bay presentation. The assembly incorporates a 2.375-inch filter element and 5-1/8-inch carburetor flange, compatible with most single-barrel carburetors commonly found in muscle cars, street rods, and classic performance builds.

Constructed from steel with a durable chrome finish, the Moroso air cleaner assembly resists corrosion and maintains visual appeal across extended storage or outdoor display. The raised base design provides additional clearance for hood fit and allows proper airflow geometry to the intake. The 2.375-inch element provides effective filtration surface area while supporting adequate air velocity to the carburetor, critical for maintaining fuel atomization and combustion efficiency across varying engine load conditions. At 2.33 pounds, the assembly adds minimal weight while offering structural rigidity through its steel construction.

This product suits builders, restorers, and performance enthusiasts who prioritize both functional engine management and visual authenticity. The chrome finish coordinates with traditional engine bay styling found in street rods, classic muscle cars, and vintage custom builds where intake system appearance matters as much as filtration performance. Buyers seeking replacement air cleaner assemblies for single-barrel carburetors will find this Moroso unit offers reliable OEM-level quality without excessive cost. The 5-1/8-inch flange diameter accommodates most common carburetor mounting interfaces, though verification against specific carburetor specifications is recommended before purchase.
