That was the air cleaner the engine builder put on to get me home for his shop as the stock one would not fit under the hood. I stopped at a parts store on the way home and have a larger air cleaner on it. I put the wrong older photo on the site in error, so here is an updated one:

I have a K&N filter for it that I think is 14" like the above photo, but have not put it on yet.
 
I take it you have had problems with it blowing oil out of the dip stick tube? Since you have capped it off and added a second breather to the valve covers. Did that fix it?
 
Mine did that and the bottom ring was installed upside down from the person before me. It don`t blow the dip stick out anymore. All re rebuilt lol.
 
It would blow out at WOT which to say is only twice. Once on the dynometer and the second time racing a rice burner. The air cleaner was all the parts store had on my way home and it was better than driving without one. It reminds me of Cheech and Chong driving around in a car with the little chain steering wheel. I will take photos of the interior tomorrow,

Mojoluv, I would like to sell, but I do not need to sell. It sits in my warehouse and I take it out a few time a week to keep the fluids moving. Here are some photographs ofthe interior and trunk:

Have you ever ran oit down a track with the stroker and if so what did it run? Nice rod!
 
No, I never raced it at a track as I thought they would require a roll cage and other safety requirements such as the fuel cell in the trunk. It smokes the tires with ease and I would assume it would run in the 12's. The only thing that really needs done are the armrests and a little soap and water to the trunk and engine bay,

Since it is listed on ebay, what do you guys think is the going price for this Demon? I would love to get what I put into it, but that will never happen. craigslist is a joke with all the scammers and their not so subtle tricks. A guy in Poland (Diffy B James) is a guy to avoid and tried his tricks with me a few times in the past,
Thanks,
Mark

Unless you find the one buyer who falls in love with your car, especially with the changes you made to personalize the car and move away from the originality, the best way to establish a price people will pay is to have a live auction on Ebay or similar website, with a reserve price that you feel comfortable with. This will provide a good reference point as to what you can expect buyers might pay.

Obviously you know this time of the year is particularly tough to sell in, eveb if we had a strong economy (which we don't).

There are some very good original documented 340 factory A bodies for sale right now (not on this website) that are asking in the low teens, and STILL not selling.

Originality, ownership history and repair documentation are what help sell classic cars.

Best of luck in whatever you decide with the car.
