Air Cleaner Assembly Needed Top And Bottom 4bbl Carb

Does anyone know where I could find an Air cleaner Assembly. It would go on a 72 CJ5 - 304V8 with 4bbl Carb. Standard 5 1/8" carb base size. I have searched for universal 4bbl assemblies and not much out there so looking at models like a chevy 67-72 big block with 4bbl. I realize those would be for QuadraJet 4bbl but I am confident I could fab it to work with my Edelbrock AVS2 carburetor.

There are many new ones out there that I believe would work but priced anywhere from $200-$450 and I am hoping to find a used one in a junk pile that I can clean up and paint etc.

 

Would a factory air cleaner assy from a 360 2bbl work? I am thinking they are all the same including 304 2bbl and even the 4bbl 401. Some one else may know more precisely if they are compatible.

 

Yes, I would think so. Depends on the carburetor. The 304 was never offered with a 4V. Most Holley-pattern carburetors have a 5 1/4" diameter opening however. Don't know specifically re the Edelbrock, but I would guess so.

The opening will be right, but you may need a spacer to lift the air cleaner some and clear whatever shape the EB carb has. Likely you'll need to change or fab the hold-down stud. You'll have to try it. Suggest you advertise in the WTB forum here for a factory air cleaner and try it. The Wagoneer forums might also be a good source. You want something from the early '70s without the TAC motors and thermal sensors. The later examples will work, but you'd have to remove/defeat the emissions stuff. The later ACs will come with cold air induction though, if that appeals to you.

 

Here's one with cold air and the emissions stuff. TYoo much money IMO. Jeep V8 Air Cleaner Cj5 Cj7 Cj FSJ 304 360 401 AMC OEM Wagoneer J10 J20 Cherokee | eBay

 

The Edelbrock has a standard 5 1/8" air cleaner mounting flange, there's all kinds of air cleaners out there that'll fit.
Q-jet, Holley, motorcraft 2V & 4V all are this size, as well as the vast majority of aftermarket air cleaners.

 

That one on e-bay looks like what I am wanting. Appreciate the help.
