rsb502 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 So looking for a possible race truck I stumbled onto a mis labeled Superliner, and I cant figure the breather out, its not a breather just an intake pipe but its not going in where the breather should. Oh and it has two right hand mirrors(GRRR!).http://www.truckpaper.com/listingsdetail/detail.aspx?OHID=4399945 Quote "Any Society that would give up a little LIBERTY to gain a little SECURITY will Deserve Neither and LOSE BOTH" -Benjamin Franklin"If your gonna be STUPID, you gotta be TOUGH" "You cant always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you get what you need" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdog Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 my guess is that he rigged that up to feed it more air Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsb502 Posted June 11, 2013 Author Share Posted June 11, 2013 I see "rigged" is the consensus, that's what I got too.

Lmackattack Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 If it has an under good air cleaner it likely is just a tube to grab clean cool air vs under hood or air.?Did v8 superliners have under hood air cleaners? All the ones I see had the optional external filter(s) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the ones I see had the optional external filter(s)yes they did and that would explain that setup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbigrig Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 The black MH cabover we had was equipped with an E9 engine. The MH had an air intake up the rear of the cab mounted to the rh stack bracket. Guys that would run MH's with under cab intakes out in The Western Canadian Praries, always complained that if the wind was blowing across the front of the trucks that the E9's wouldnt suck enough air to pull effeciently. Like our E9 which use to run Western Canada, it was equipped with a stack intake to prevent the cross wind issue. The intakes under the cab of the MH`s were set back from the grill quite a bit if I remember correctly.The RW did have an underhood intake option but I thought it was only optional with E6 or E7 motors....Its underhood intake snorkel would be mounted right up beside the rad and charge air cooler on the passenger side. always thought the air cleaner housing for the E9 was too big for under the hood mounting. Could be wrong though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog13407 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 all the E9 V8 Superdogs I have seen had the ugly huge under hood round air cleaner across the top of the engine. the one we had with a 440 in it had the under hood air cleaner.

rsb502 Posted June 12, 2013 Author Share Posted June 12, 2013 Both my 84 and 85 V8 trucks came with under hood cleaners, the intake pipe goes right up next to the radiator on the passenger side. 1 Quote "Any Society that would give up a little LIBERTY to gain a little SECURITY will Deserve Neither and LOSE BOTH" -Benjamin Franklin"If your gonna be STUPID, you gotta be TOUGH" "You cant always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you get what you need" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mack mhe9 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I'd like to see the hole they cut in the firewall to bring it out to the engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
