Did you see the flame arrester on 87BFN's that eric is working on? The 454 flame arrester looks bigger in dia.,lower in profile and has a fuel vent! |

Waterdog, the flame arrestor I have should be the same exact size as the one on the 454 (8" diameter, 2" tall). Its actually the same Barbaron arrestor with a different style top. If you look closely, I have both the fuel line and breather hose fittings. I figure if it can flow enough air for a big block, then it can flow enough for my modified small block. |

TRBenj...I'll try to take pics of my current set-up but after I changed to the Weiand my box would not shut either. I was able to do two things that gave me the clearance I needed to shut the lid. First I ordered a 1" poly spacer from Summit with a rear PCV port on the back similar to the OEM PCM version so that saved me 3/4". I then found a part number from Barbron that is 7" in diameter and a max heighth of 2" and looks close to the stock one. I can now shut my hood but this flame arrestor still is close to stock heighth so I am hoping it will not hurt CFM's. I'll take pics in a few days and post up.
Thanks! |

That is one Bad a$$ lookin' topper. That should really look sweet under the cover. Definitely let us know if that thing does anything for you. I might have to figure out some way to get one to fit under my cover.

Eric, Im guessing he got it here. If you get a new arrestor, I would be very interested in purchasing your original. |

John is your boat still at the storage place down the road from harbor side? or do you have it at the house? I was thinking of meeting you at the boat storage, I remember how to get there still.

TRB...Thats the place, it was $119 with free shipping, and it looks way better then you can see in the PIC, its real shiney,it comes in three diffrent designs,(Electic)(flame)(scalloped) its a heavy billet, not cheap at all. The low profile one thats on the boat now is going to jbear, but I do have the originl taller one somewhere!
backfoot..thanks, we will see if does anything on Sat when you guys get here! the next thing is a air vent handle for better airflow, also from (rex marine) |

I remeber looking at that arrestor from Rex marine bu it said it was 3" high and with my new Weiand intake being taller I could not go more than 2" overall max heighth. Is this one in fact 3" overall max heighth?
Thanks! |

Hey MMaxx,
Bumping the thread to see how the K&N is working for ya??? I need to make a switch as well and was just wondering if the CFM's were the same, restricted or otherwise... Since you haven't reported, I'm assuming that life is good??? Moj' |

Mojo...I put it on along with a new Holley fuel pump, so I am not sure which one made the difference, but my mid range power picked up some! more fuel + more air flow = more HP!! At 119 dollars it seems like alot but you have to see it in person, it looks awsome!!
