Paul, with a sixteen inch dia spinner, there is more than 4.5 inches of
clearance above the engine. The wood plank shows the line of the cowl.
   I am thinking about putting a 4"(H) by 8" x 8" aluminum box in this
space for an intake plenum.  Intake runners would bell mouth  into it.
Injectors would be aimed into the bell mouths. Top of the box would be
screwed down.   Ram air and filter not yet worked  out.   Everybody
please comment and criticize.

Question:  where does one find a sixteen inch spinner?

BTW,  the radiator is in the installed position.   I will have to lower
the bottom edge of the firewall 1.5 inches to have a flush installation
on the louvers (when closed).   This is not a problem to do on the
Tailwind.      Jerry

Good question. I think Nemesis Nxt crew molded their own carbon 19 inch spinner.
