If you have a 1950's Ford Y Block V8 and want to convert your original oil bath air cleaner to a paper element then this video is for you. The 1954, 1955, and 1956 Ford Y Block 239, 256, 272, and 292 that all shipped from the factory with a four barrel carburetor came with a very large oil bath air cleaner. This video will take you through the steps required to perform this simple upgrade that could do in an afternoon with a few tools. Listed below are a few very handy links to items such as the air filter, rubber trim for sheet metal, and even the argent colored paint I used for this project.
