So finding that would be pretty much impossible I assume...

Shouldn’t be too hard. 
There are a lot of the Johan “USA Oldies” 1962 Chrysler 300 kits around.

They all had that air cleaner.  
What are you going to use it for?

Not Dumb at all. There might be some in resin, but I have never looked for them, either.

Good Luck. I'd look for "Junk Engine Lots" on eBay, and see if any turn up.

Yea, I may do that... or just make some myself worst case ?

I would just ask in the “Wanted” section.

Somebody probably has one and at the very least would probably be willing to cast one in resin for you.

I have at least one of them, but I’m no good with resin casting.

Let me check my stash to see if I have any extras.

Thanks Steve.

I not only have the air cleaner, but the whole correct A block engine and trans. I created the 3d files for it in 2017. Over 20 of them in duel and single quad form are in the hands of members on this forum. The engine that comes in the AMT 58 Plymouth is screwed up. Mr Obsessive posted the fact on here and has 2 of them.

No way! Are you willing to get rid of one?

While admittedly not the same thing, when building this same kit and also wanting the dual quads I used the setup off of an AMT Chrysler 300 model. This gave me a dual quad manifold, carbs, and air cleaners. The bad news is that the offset style air cleaners that were OEM in the original application just does clear the hood. That said I think you could remove the connection between the carb mounting of the air cleaner and the air filter portion, then mount that on top of the carb. This would give you the same shape you're after but may not clear the hood when closed.

I think I'm gonna try and buy the complete engine/trans off Doug. But if that doesn't work out that is certainly an option to consider. Just have to get the 300 kit.

If you don't get the engine from Doug, let me know.

I have a couple of extra air cleaners.

I imagine that I could be convinced to let one go. ^_^
