In several of the pix you can also see the valve covers I picked up from Will. Tim Bruning originally made them for his E-ticket Challenger build, but then had some billet machined ones made...sold the originals to Will... then Will changed his plan to a Viper motor, so I bought them from him....
Then I stuck the Precision Metalcraft intake back on and started to mock up the air intake.
The TB is just a tad over 4 inch diameter, so I mocked up a 4 inch intake pipe and a 3.5 inch pipe..... My concern was if the hood was going to clear the bigger pipe....but both do..so I could use either one.... I rough cut them to get them to fit, but will get them dialed in to be centered between the engine pulley and radiator
4 inch pipe....
3.5 inch pipe.....
My plan is to route the pipe down, make a 90 and then parallel to the lower rad support, under the front of the frame and up into the passenger side wheelwell.... Obviously the bigger pipe is better for airflow.... but the 3.5 inch is going to be a little easier to get it where I want......
As for proportions and visual impact, the 4 inch looks better...... if I mount the 4 inch and then swap for the 3.5, it looks tiny.....
What do you guys think?
