64 Dart 5.7 hemi update thread.
Well, ill have room for the air box still but if i go with it, ill have to decide what to do with my overflow bottle. If the airbox is gonna be used, my overflow bottle will either be on the driverside of the car close to the radiator, which means ill have to route the line back in that direction or i can have it back in an area close to the firewall on the passengerside of the car, which if you look in the last two pics is where the 97 jeep grand cherokees overflow bottle is.
If i didnt use the air box the overflow bottle would go next to the radiator on the passengerside of the car.
I wont lie, using the airbox is gonna require me to cut an area in the fenderwell out, weld back in a "box like" section to keep the new area enclosed from the the elements and modiy the splash shield and the fender because they will have to fit around the area were the airbox will be. Its all still doable, but im not sure right now i have the skills to do it. I think ill give it some thought yet.
I want to use the air box and i know what i need to do, but i am abit nervous about cutting into the fenderwell. I think having this airbox put in and getting all that nice cool air from right behind the grill would really be nice, almost like a hood scoop. For now though im gonna work on the radiator support area and finish that up to i can at least check that off the list.
Also, doesnt look like much room for a battery does it?
