The Custom Intake

Refering to Alex's post, I totally forgot about sharing my idea of a homemade intake for a carbed 350.

Now what I'll do is order the K&N Dual Enterence "H.O" carb intake cover (almost like the Dual Snorkel offered on the H.O.s). Then I'll get some chrome/stainless-steel piping, and have them bent by a guy that does exhaust work here in Roxbury. Ill have to do some markoff's on the piping for the perfect spot to bend. After precise measurements, and relocation of the battery, it'll be time to cut holes matching the circumference of the piping (most likely 3-4 inch) in the battery tray and the smog tray. Then, I'll fit it in properly and attatch an adapter piece to it below the trays. and from that point, I'll use dryer duction to route both sides to both foglight holes thus creating a ram-air effect. I've seen something like this done on both a carbed 305 TA and a carbed 350 camaro, and both pledge good gains and both used only dryer ducting. It would be very delicate if exposed right under the hood, but shouldnt be a problem between the rad support and the front bumper. Refer to the pics and excuse my crappy artwork:



And this pic is to show visually where the air would be coming from... the fog light holes on the front of an 85-90 TA bumper.




Of course, I'd have to wait till I get my hands on a 350 to get the proper measurements
