I finished the swirl pot yesterday.   All that remains for the

Nice photograph Jerry. What is that oil cooler doing near the
firewall?
That is where mine was originally. It did not work!

I'll reserve judgment until I see what the scoop and duct look like :-)

I am planning to pipe the air in from the front of the cowl,  probably
3" round inlet.      Scat to intake plenum.   Air exhausts  at bottom
of cowl.
I would welcome anyone's recommendations for fitting an air cleaner and
intake.

That sounds good Jerry. Be sure and make the transition from three inch
round SCAT to the cooler bell shaped.
Here are the coordinates again for the new guys.
