I am thinking about getting a air box made for my 78 camaro with a 4inch cowl induction hood and I needed some specs or ideas.It's a small block chevy 421 with a 1050dom.I heard of and seen people(Frank Meushaw) gain using one and others not. I just wanted to try one myself! I seem to recall that it had to be a certain height and distance from the top of the cowl, but I'm not sure. Any knowledge or experiences would
be greatly appreciated on any kind of setups u have encounter! Thanks
Vince, and have a blessed day.

Are you wanting to pull the air from the cowl area or from up front?

I've got some pictures of how I set up my Nova to pull air from up front just over the top of the radiator support if you want something to look at. I'd suggest making a mock up out of cardboard to figure out where to make your bends and then transfer to some aluminum.

Here is a pic of my 67 camaro pan. I have 1" foam on the hood that seals it to the pan.

Not trying to steal your post here, but is that Snow on the ground?

Yes it is. That picture is pretty old. Feb 04 I believe. The roads were clear so I went out for a drive to a friends house.
