Snorkel with Hemi swap?

[tcabece]

Thing is, there aren't any snorkel systems I can find for the 392 JT, so the hydro guide is the next best option.
Thinking about it more, the stock 392 Wrangler has a 2" lift and a 35" tire. I use a 4ish" lift and a 40" tire.
The stock 392 Wrangler can handle a max of 30" water depth. (Man, that's scary deep!)
My JT using those metrics should handle a bit more, 4.5" to be exactly approximate, or aboutish 34.5".
Whoever forded at a constant depth? No one ever! You bounce up and down and bow waves and river currents, and joksters in side-by-sides go splashing about, so on an average crossing you see 2"-42" of water, and somehow manage to crawl out the other side with all your pistons and rods...Magic!

Flyin6: Factory Wrangler 392 air intake is on the leftside of the engine bay. I would think getting a leftside snorkel would be difficult. I know Jeep Speed Shop and others use the right side air intake. I think the car and truck Hemi’s use the right side two. Maybe more snorkel options??

I know all that; heck, I own a 392 air intake system, and yes, no one makes anything that will mate up. I even called AEV, and they couldn't help! What I was left with was trying to create an adapter to get from a diesel snorkel to the 392 air box. I could do that, and it wouldn't be all that difficult, but does the diesel snorkel flow enough for twice as many cubic inches?
I learned this the hard way many moons ago. I built a SAS first-gen Trundra. Next, I supercharged the 4.7 V8. Then I created my own snorkel out of 3" tubing from the fender all the way to a roof rack I had on it. Guess what? When I drove it, the supercharger would only produce 5 PSI, whereas with the stock airbox and no snorkel it would push a bit over 8 psi. All those bends required a monster tubing size to overcome the resistance to flow. Having been down the road, I knew I was looking for something already scienced-out or just skip the idea altogether.
