...as a poor man's warm air intake?
My Ranger used to get it's intake air from outside the engine bay through the sidewall. I have a complete upper grille block and a partial lower grill block (using the license plate) to keep the engine warm.
Picked up the air filter housing at a pick n pull for $10. I still have the original if this doesn't work out.
If you can't see it the "cap" where the old intake snorkel was is a can of La Prefferida little green chiles.
