That sucks lol was the block pre PI?

 

That doesn't look to hard to do. I'll probably end up doing that this summer

 

For some reason I can't find just the tube. All I can find is the whole set

 

you could call and say you want to order a new tube because you cracked yours or something. Not try to get one for free but I'm sure they'll sell you one

 

no it was from an 02. Still had nice cross-hatching good main bearings and a factory forged crank

 

I may try that. I wish I had a pic of it I saw a picture of this "cold air intake" for our trucks that moved the MAF to right in front of the throttle body and then it just had a filter right there in front of the throttle body lol. I can't believe some of the stuff companies make that are "good for your vehicle"
Sounds like a nice block. I really wanna build an Engine but someone else is gonna have to pay for it lol to expensive

 

What year is your truck? The 97's and maybe 98's had a smaller snorkel going into the filter housing. I upgraded to the larger one on mine.

 

I know someone who did that on a red 2wd 4.6L...Well, the filter was directly in front of the intake as well. Connecting it up w/4-6" intake coupler. So he was sucking radiator heat through the intake lol.

 

Edit, - dp

 

Wow, I have the larger one as well. That small one looks tiny.

I've seen those before though. They slip into a plastic sleeve that fits in the fender. My daughter had a 4.2L with one that small on it. I remembered it seeing that little bump on the end of the filter housing in the pic. That's what holds the two pieces together.
