gjorenby Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Hello, My current build is a 1984 Ford Mustang GT with the 5.0L H.O. engine. I owned this car when I was younger so building from my personal photos. My base kit is the MPC 20th Anniversary Mustang as that has the correct body panels. However, it does not have the correct 5.0L engine or air cleaner. I can get an accurate 5.0L engine from BNL Resin, but still looking for the air cleaner. It was a large round air cleaner with two snorkels going into air feeds in each wheel well. None of the Mustang kits I have researched have this aircleaner so I dont think it was ever included in a production kit. Any suggestions? Thanks!

64Comet404 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I believe the air cleaner you want can be found in the Monogram 1983 Mustang convertible kit. It’s an uncommon kit to find, so someone on the board may have one in their parts bins. You may want to post in the Wanted section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjorenby Posted June 2, 2020 Author Share Posted June 2, 2020 Ah! And there it is! Thanks all for the quick responses, that is exactly what I was looking for. I believe the Monogram was a 1:24 and the MPC kits are 1:25 but its probably negligible on the air cleaner. Willing to buy if anyone has one. Thanks!
