ADDITIONAL 4 INCH AIR INLET FOR A CAT 3208NA

[John]

I have finally finished the additional 4" air intake for the air
cleaner on my 3208NA powered FC model 'Bird. The end result I am very
happy with, but I have not had a chance to road test the 'Bird yet to
see if there is any difference in performance, similar to what others
that have done similar modifications have claimed.

Since I have removed almost all of what was remaining of the dash air
and the compressor for it was already gone when I purchased
the 'Bird, I choose to just run the generator and the roof airs for
my air conditioning while I'm driving, I like that meat locker
feeling with all three airs running at the same time. This allowed me
to use the area where originally the air conditioner compressor was
located to route an additional 4" air inlet and ducting, which in
effect doubles the air inlet capacity, so the old Cat should at least
breathe a lot better now.

You can see the results of my efforts at;

There are two pages with photos and details about this modification.

Now I have to get busy at finishing the generator insulation and
sound deadening project, by partially closing up the back side of the
generator compartment, underneath the 'Bird, that was interrupted for
the air inlet modification. That will go on hold until next week, as
it is going to be in the mid 70's today and some of my other retired
buddies and I are going to go ride our motorcycles and enjoy the
weather.........AH THE RETIRED LIFE!!!!
