Looks like it came from a car with a QuadraJet.

That is an interesting piece of the cars past, but I'm rather certain the snorkel is hand made and welded on.
It's still cool that someone made this to help get cooler air to the engine.

Yes it's a modified '66 Chevelle 396 L34 or L35 standard air cleaner. Bruce modified it himself to create his own plenum air cleaner setup.

I enjoy seeing things like this air cleaner. It shows how the average racer back in the day came up with ideas how to make his car just a little better than it was the weekend before.
Keep up the good work on your 4K Jose, I’m watching.
