Get a snorkel? You have to let air in, so the only way to prevent air in the engine is move the intake higher.

Save up for one before you start going crazy driving through water. $500 is a lot cheaper and a lot easier than paying to have an engine swap after its too late.

If you are going to hit some water holes, don't forget to waterproof your muffler bearings.
