Wow - that looks wonderful. Was that top from an airbox before, or was it a cam cover or something?


An intake plenum. That part I made a long time ago

Spent the morning CADing. I think the plan is the stacks will bolt to the TB and secured the air box. I'll print them and see it they live, if not I can make aluminum versions and this also lets me try different heights pretty easily if I'm really feeling motivated on dyno day.

I got the box to a test fit...most of the screws go but the TB hole need a little more work, very close though. I kind or like it and am planning the factory red wrinkle paint

I was wondering where the air was coming from. You are adding duct work intake holes? With the filters on the tubing?
The box looks great so far. I like the trumpet sandwich design.

Yes t all that is the plan. I'll open the ends/side of the box and attach ducting that goes to filters at the fender holes. There is not really as much room behind those fender hole as I was thinking though so that but will be a challenge.

Thanks and it is nice to be making stuff again. Today I made custom scribe, I know there is a name for it but i don't recall, to transfer the TB locations to the airbox so now it fit pretty well and the first couple stacks are printing.

I started looking at the air filter and really want to cut away a bit of the fender to make it fit nicer so i thought it best to just step away and process before continuing.

Oh you are cutting the fender, I can feel it. :shock: Need more room? Just make it. Cut and weld has been your plan for 14 years now, why is that gonna change. Yeah, it is not going to change. :D

Don't cut the fender for that... just put some LEDs on the filter.

If you do cut the fender, you're obligated to 288GTO style flares.
