Question YJ Air intake question

I've got a 89 YJ 6cyl that I am rebuilding right now and figured while I was at it I could get a better air intake system because mine is looking pretty rough. I have been looking and have come up with absolutely no results. Any recommendations or if someone could point me in the right direction that would help me alot. Thanks for teh help in advance

are you looking for more power? Or a snorkel system?

I'm mainly looking for something to replace a really beat up one that came with the vehicle years ago but more power is something that would be nice. I just am looking for something simple that is very versatile

The stock one from the wreckers, is easy enough to find. Or, go with a snorkel from a performance store. Don't just throw a K&N under the hood like the tuner kids. If you do this, you risk sucking water into your engine.

A good site for searching, is Quadratec.com. I use them to look for key items. Then I hunt around for he best price after I found what i like. Pretty much any intake system for a YJ, will be a snorkel, or something to that effect.

Thanks for you help but I noticed none of them are for the 4.2L they are all for the 4.0L would they work just as well with the 4.2L as the 4.0L?
