Oval Air Cleaner for Dual Quads

The Edelbrock Oval Air Cleaner for Dual Quads is a purpose-built induction system designed specifically for carbureted engines running dual four-barrel carburetor configurations. This chrome steel assembly addresses a critical gap in classic and hot rod engine building: dual quad setups demand an air cleaner that accommodates side-by-side carb mounting without restricting airflow or creating uneven fuel distribution between barrels. Built for serious enthusiasts who refuse to compromise between form and function, this oval design delivers the clean aesthetic of vintage motorsports while maintaining the breathing efficiency your dual-carb package demands.

The assembly features dual 5-1/8 inch carb flanges mounted on a raised steel base, engineered to position each carburetor at the optimal height for proper fuel atomization and even distribution across all eight barrels. The raised base design is critical for dual-quad installations—it prevents heat soak from the engine block while allowing adequate clearance for linkage synchronization and fuel bowl access. The 13.5 x 7 inch oval footprint and 3.5 inch height fit within tight engine bay constraints found in most muscle car, street rod, and competition builds. Chrome finish resists corrosion and provides that show-quality appearance while the steel construction withstands high-temperature underhood environments without warping or deteriorating.

This kit is essential for builders running Edelbrock dual carburetors or compatible dual-quad setups on engines from 350 to 500+ cubic inches. Whether you're building a street-strip cruiser, vintage race car, or show engine, the Oval Air Cleaner integrates with both stock and custom intake manifolds. Installation requires basic carburetor mounting knowledge and proper gasket sealing; ensure carb studs are clean and torqued evenly to prevent air leaks. The complete assembly arrives ready to install, making this an excellent choice for shops and DIY builders seeking validated, bolt-on reliability for serious carbureted performance.
