Welcome Visitor! Please take a few seconds and 
I pulled the stock 4.0L air box out to mod it for a snorkel. Figured it would be more useful for the air intake hole to come from the back side of the box. Since I have a v8 swap planned in the future and the 5.0L I have has the air intake hoses of the engine routed to the drivers side, I relocated to air box over to the drivers side.
Sealed up the original air intake hole with a chunk of plastic bonded to the box after sanding the surface down for the adhesive to attach to.
I intended to use parts of the stock grill mounted intake hose to attach the tubing for the snorkel so I dissected it into it's 3 riveted pieces.
After measuring for clearances I traced out the outline of the elbow I intended to use to exit the air box and then cut the new air intake hole in the box.
thoroughly coated the elbow and air box hole in silicone and stuck them together, the elbow snaps into the new hole I cut in the box so the silicone is only there to help seal out contaminants.
I use a 3" hole saw bit on a drill to cut a hole through the top of the cowell, and the removed the small rectangular plate that holds the clutch reservoir to the fire wall and relocated it over to the inner fender support. Then I had an old 3" tube truck sport bar (thin fake roll bar from the 80's show trucks era) kicking around in my scrap pile, and with the old 2.9L rubber intake hose I mated the air box elbow to the 3" tube, all the bends in the tube were also done with the stock 2.9L rubber intake hose. Then I welded a tab to the snorkel A pillar upright piece and the A pillar to hold it in place.
The topper on the snorkel is from the stock 2.9L air box, it was the elbow that come out of the air box and the ran to the grill for the air intake for the box. Just looked neat so I used it to redirect the air flow away from splashes directly into the air stream.
