40.00 deep water snorkel kit

[Lindsaym151]

Hey guys,
I got up this morning and asked myself ,What can I do that will make my Deuce look cooler!
Granted most of us are on budgets I decided to try a Deep water snorkil.I started out by getting all my rough measurements and off to the ACE hardware.
I bought: 2 , 4"rubber connectors
1 90 degree sewer street fitting(has a smooth end a female end)
2 feet of 4"pvc tubing
1 22 degree sewer fitting
2 4" hose clamps
you will also need a piece of either steel or aluminum 1" flat stock 1/4 " thick

My total cost in Florida was 41.65

Build time
Remove intake cap
Install 1 rubber flex fitting

install 90 degree 4 ' pipe with bend to rear

cut your 1st piece of 4"pipe(dry fit into 90
inatall 22 degree fitting (again dry fit)
install aprox 10 " x 4" pipe (go as high as you want)
install rubber flex fitting
In stall rain cap



When your happy with it being vertical and straight mark all your fitting
(I find it easy to do two marks on each fitting) prime and glue let set for 5-10 mins.
Paint
Install
I used the flat stock and made a 1 inch x 2 inch x 1inch spacer and clamped it between the exhaust pipe and new air in take attach with 2 remaining 4 " hose clamps
I will take some close ups tomorrow All told 2 hrs with trip to ACE9They can cut Pvc to desired lenths their HOPE THIS HELPSopcorn:

Is that a 22* or 45* fitting? I know you said 22* in the text, but I just wanted to be sure.

Nice job!

Let me be the first to say, I like it. It looks good and it fits in with my way of thinking, inexpensive.

The first 90 is pointed up at a 22.5 degree angle, the 22.5 degree elbow gets it to 45 degrees.

But I'm just guessing.

I would say it is a 45 degree fitting............that is what I used only in metal, and it looks just like mine. Great job!!!!

Its a 22 degree fitting, the 45 sent it kicking forward, deduct 2.39 from total bill. The metal u shaped spacer is 1/8 inch stock.

Nice looking truck Thanks for sharing a great idea also!

Just a thought on being ready for deep water, did you plug the open pipe that sticks out from the air filter housing and points towards the engine?
It's amazing where water can find its way into unwanted areas, from the voice of experience

Best thing is, if you ever need to ford a cesspool(say, during a flood), you know you can pass a 3.5" diameter turd through your intake without clogging it !

Better add a plunger to your BII.

Looks great and thanks for the specs/parts. Have you seen the thread of the guy who put a ram air on the top of the snorkel? That looked cool too.

great idea with the PVC! Here is a link to a parts list to make a metal one (from the cheapest supplier I could find) if anyone is interested:

Thanks Peashooter! Looks good and thanks for the link to the part numbers. Not sure if I'll do the plastic or metal as you have.
