Would this look stupid as an air cleaner?

I don't want a run of the mill breather and can't find anything that I like. Thought about a spectre intake system but don't think I'll have the room.

On top of a tunnel ram sticking out of the hood would be very retro and I like that look.

That thing looks like it would also severely limit the air volume to your engine

Functionality is a different issue.

I feel ya. I am FINALLY putting my engine together and am facing the same decision challenges (plus a few more). What kind of "style" are you after? Based on the example of this thread, might I suggest a twin draft style? It has the polished metal look, much more air volume and is not very common. It is $$$ though."Fst Blk" said:

I really dig that but at 300 plus it's a little rich.
I like this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/SPECTRE-COLD-AI ... 59&vxp=mtr
But don't know it I can fit it. I just don't want a round breather assembly for some reason.

Those have got to be some of the ugliest air cleaner options I've ever seen lol. :barf What's wrong with a round one?

I don't know. Just wanted something a little more unique for the air cleaner.

If you are going for the classic look I agree keep it simple (normal). If you are building more of a restomod and not just upgrading a few mechanical systems the more "high-tech" look can work. You ever seen a Ring Bros. build? Way too extreme for my tastes but a good example of what I mean.
Here's one of the side draft style installed. Yeah it's a Chevy but gives you an idea. Couldn't find a pic on a Ford in a fast search but with the distributor up front I think it fits well. Leaves a void on this engine.

True that. I can't name one stock component on my car, so I don't want run of the mill.

I want more of a race look so these valve covers with that spectre air cleaner would look cool.
I like the raw hand touched nature of these.

I like that one too, but don't think it would fit with a monte carlo bar.

To answer the original question...yes.
