Say it isn't so!!!!!!!! LOL

Rick, I love that setup. I'm looking forward to working with you whenever you're ready!

I need to find some High Performance, finned valve covers first. I am also waiting for some more feedback from this site, on if this cowl approach is a safe way to go. If I am convinced to route my hoses to the front, it will effect how my painted-on 'CHARGER 273' will appear on the stock car style lid. ( I also wrote a new song for your act ) lol !

The cowl induction is used in Nascar. How do they do it safely ?
Here is a blog I found;
"In my previous blog, I mentioned my ’67 Z/28. At one time, I actually had a NOS cowl induction air cleaner assembly for the car. This led me to thinking about how difficult it would be to build an all-aluminum cowl-inducted air cleaner much like what the NASCAR stock cars use. That led to thinking about how much work it would take to fabricate a homebuilt version of a factory ’67 or ’68 Z/28-style air cleaner by starting with a typical single-inlet four-barrel air cleaner assembly. The hardest part would be making the wide piece that connects the air cleaner housing to the firewall. For someone with decent sheetmetal fabrication skills (which leaves me out), it probably wouldn't be that difficult. If I tried it, it would probably look more like what would happen if Ray Charles took a stab at fabrication. If there's enough reader interest, we could make a run at trying to build something."

The OEM's did do this. Chevrolet had a similar setup on 67 and 68 Z28s.

That system was chambered off and not homogeneous with the passenger compartment air intake.

They don't have heat and air conditioning.
