I have been trying to work the details of the intake.   I scrapped the
idea of using a cheek inlet for RAM in favor of a scoop on the cowl.  I
made a wood mockup to check the height of the 1.75 runners and they
will have to be leaned over some to get the height shown in the
drawing.   This in turn may change the length of the  plenum but there
is plenty of space available.  I don't know  a thing about hood scoops.
  That part of the drawing will change, no doubt.     Paul, please don't
waste  your breath on the runner i.d.  I know where  you stand.
Thanks, Jerry

Just make the hood scoop opening the same area of the round part going 
into the plenum. An oversize scoop will just cause extra drag.
A square 90 degree turn like that is a no no. You would be better 
off with a 3 inch 90 degree bend.
