Can someone help me identify this head

Tim, what's the story behind those air cleaners? Are they readily available for purchase?

Here is the setup on my 1940 Plymouth woodie wagon; It is a 23" block (217 ) motor, with a modified intake- a stock manifold modified by a Forum member (can't recall his name right at this moment  ) and an additional dump on the exhaust. The 2" exhaust is split and then recombines into a single larger tailpipe. There was no room to run a second pipe with the way the gas tank was configured on the pre-war wagons.The 75 yr old owner of the muffler shop said that the larger single would breathe just fine, (they did it that way with V-8s, back in the 50's and 60s) and it does have much more power than my old stock single carb setup. With the oil-bath air cleaners, the problem is their too-large diameter. I found 2 Crosley units - cut the bottoms out of spare Plymouth air cleaners and welded them up to the Crosleys. Work great and are very similar to the old Dodge Pilothouse duals, I think.

Looks a lot like George's work to me...

Finding air cleaners that fit our carburetor's is a challenge.  I am entertaining the idea of putting a K&N inside of the factory air cleaner.  I mildly modified a 1938 Cadillac 60 Special air cleaner and installed a K&N when I owned my restoration business.  There has to be a way to do this with our air cleaners.....   If and when I have some time to myself (Ha!  I have a toddler!), I will do a thread on this,  "if" I achieve any sort of success with the project.
