I'm using the Jeep snorkel, per Emery's suggestion. There are 3/4"-1"
spacer rings which can be used between the snorkel and the carb (or
throttle body) to provide a little larger air passage into the throat.
I use a heavily rubber coated corrugated hose (called "picker hose" at the
local John Deere dealer) to connect to a large conically shaped paper
filter behind the left headlight. Some use air cleaner housings from other
vehicles.
HTH,
Ken H.
