Veteran Posts: 141 Location: Chattanooga | Looking for HP air cleaner used from 1959-1961 on big block 361 engines. Usually found on 1959 Plymouth Golden Commando 361 big block engines, but also used on Dodge, Desoto, and Chryslers.

This is another one, n :) Not when the big block was put into a Plymouth or Dart, which made it a Golden Commando or D500. They didn't have a snorkel. The "domestic" Plymouths and Dodge that is. My Canadian Golden Commando has a snorkel AC, not sure if that is OE though. | ||

Expert 5K+ Posts: 9604 Location: So. Cal | I thought a '60-'61 D500 motor would have been a long ram motor as well. The '59 D500 didn't use this commando air cleaner either. | ||

Veteran Posts: 141 Location: Chattanooga | Quite a bit of discussion and disagreement on what air cleaner was on what car from the factory. I have seen a 1960 Desoto with the small air cleaner with no snorkle that I am looking for, and I was told it was factory. There was a facebook discussion a few weeks ago about this air cleaner, and one of the posters said he had an original 1961 Chrysler 361 that came from the factory with this style. I believe that all the 383 and 413 engines had the big air cleaner with the snorkle, but for sure the police cars and the 1961 Dart D-500 with the 361 had the small air cleaner I am looking for. | ||

Expert 5K+ Posts: 9855 Location: Lower Mainland BC | . From Nick's Garage website: "1959-61 Golden Commando 395 (361 cubic inch 4-bbl.). Also used on police cars. It appears police units are black with no decal although I have a small picture of a 1961 Dodge with what appears to be the remains of a decal. If anyone has good photos of one, please contact me."

Expert 5K+ Posts: 9604 Location: So. Cal | The only Chrysler in the forwardlook years that came with the 361 is the '61 Newport, and it used the snorkel air cleaner. If the Newport was a factory police car, that would make more sense. | ||

Expert 5K+ Posts: 6487 Location: Newark, Texas (Fort Worth) | APPLICATIONS This assembly is correct for the following 1959-61 361/395 lb. ft torque models: Plymouth Sport Fury, Police Enforcer, Belvedere Desoto Adventurer, D300 Note: This assembly was specific to the high performance 361 B engines from 59-61. It will fit a variety of big block (361/383/413/426 wedge/440) single 4 barrel engines from 59-66, but is technically correct for the 59-61 models. It is different from the 413/426 max wedge air cleaners in design and fitment and will not fit properly. FITMENT The assembly will fit factory 4 barrel carburetors (Carter AFB) with a 4 1/8" diameter flange only. If you have modified your carburetor or intake manifold, please inquire first prior to bidding to ensure fitment is correct. Return requests for non-fitment will not be honored. | ||

Expert 5K+ Posts: 9855 Location: Lower Mainland BC | 56D500boy - 2023-07-27 8:36 PM Maybe not? OR Maybe. According to the Sanow and Bellah Mopar Police Car book, in 1961 Plymouth listed an optional engine for the Pursuit Special. This engine was a 383 with 10:1 compression and 4 bbl carb. It developed 325 old hp at 4600 RPM and 435 lb-ft of torque at 2800 RPM. It was apparently called the "Maximum Performance Golden Commando 435". *IF* there was a decal, it would probably be modelled on the Golden Commando 395, except 435 instead of 395.
