I'm looking for a carb bonnet like this that covers two 4 bbls. If one is out there that I don't have to make it would be a bonus!

Now that is about as good as under hood eye candy gets! I dreamed of making one like this for a supercharged tri power before maybe someone already has. -
I think that might be Ed Desilva's car. He lives in Miami but I do not have contact info for him.Comment

R4 air cleaners were copies of a Corvette or (?) of the same year...
More notes
an optional unit for the '61-'64 Chevy 409...
The air cleaner element is a Chevy 155344364 GT Hawk (K7)

Yes, but an R4 wasn't pressurized and the Chevrolet/Corvette air cleaner assembly does not have the ability to be pressurized.Originally posted by 64V-K7 View PostGary L.

When the conversation pertains to an R4, we all know that they are not pressurized. Brad is building an R4...... At least that's the impression I got.64 GT Hawk (K7)

Well, I'm making a "special" R4. Since this one has 8.5:1 compression ratio, I'm putting on a Novi blower, and a serpentine drive. With power steering and Air Conditioning!

That is a beautiful looking carb (carbs) bonnet in the engine photo....I'd guess that it has to be custom made...and whoever made it is an artist!Comment

I was basing my response on the picture that Brad posted (two 4 bbls. + blower).Originally posted by 64V-K7 View PostGary L.

Oh Wow!, I just noticed that this engine (In pic) ALSO has one of the 'early' A/C compressors/setups on it! Busy week for R2 Avantis with air!Comment

The car belongs to Ed Desilva. He is actually in Ft. Lauderdale FL. Here is a link to more pictures of the car:
