Be careful here. There are two elements for the 57 ACL, one for FORD and the other for BIRD, the BIRD being not as tall.

The FORD PN's (to help cross-over) are within this thread.

Hey Oldmics...

It is not what I want to discuss as I am fairly satisfied with all the info that has come to light.

I just found it interesting that FORD decided to empty it's HP parts bins due to the upcoming AMA ban and possibly others reactions to the article which seems to have drawn little interest.

Thought I would post up a picture of my latest (sorta) oval "E" Code air cleaner acquisition.

Pretty bizzarre !!!!!!!!!!!

That is the first one of those I have seen, sort of a cross between the standard 2x4, and the oval one pretty interesting. sometimes I miss living in the lower 48 states, as there is almost nothing in the way of swap meets up here in Alaska. there is certainly not much of anything left in the way of old performance parts of any kind left that ever shows up for sale.

Just that its a combination of the two styles of air cleaner. Kinda like they didnt know which way to go.

... duh ...

It finally dawned on me what you are saying about he 1st ACL. It appears to be an open element style, maybe made similar in appearance to the 57 BIRD 4V cleaner?. Who knew? I bet a few people would want the ($$$) for a detailed engine.

The 2nd you show is just the 57 early E-CODE ACL isn't it?
